LionFish says..... Well LiveRock is always a plus but as long as your tank is cycled it should be alright. But also rock is good for hiding spots. LionFish and triggers to require hiding spots for sleeping at night. I'm sure the puffer needs hiding spots too. But overall you don't need a whole...

LionFish says..... What it comes down to is the size of the fish. You will obviously need a larger tank to hold 2 triggers. People are always telling me "I've got t2 triggers in the same tank". It doesn't matter if you have 2 triggers in the tank, it's the size of the fish and the size of the...

LionFish says..... Well, I need some help from anybody who knows lighting. In my 20 gallon reef I bought a pre made lighting system. Works great, I can keep almost any coral I want. I now am setting up a 70 gallon reef. I was checking all these places and I saw Metal Halides, Actinic Blue, and...

LionFish says...... Well, Lars, some people just get lucky. Most Triggers would enjoy a little snack on those corals. Blue Throats are not nearly as bad as Clowns. Tell me, how large are these 2 triggers, it may be there size that matters. Some small triggers don't develop those nasty...

LionFish says...... FireFish are known to be shy. Mine hid in an old shell for 5 days until he found out he was the only fish in the tank. He now lives with a Six line wrasse. Try to get some brine in front of him and he should take it.

LionFish says...... Hey Mitch, Flames are truly incredible fish. Very hardy and will eat just about any food. Not very aggresive except towards other angels. I'm gettin' one in my reef next year. And also a clown trigger would kill all your fish if they are small.

LionFish says.... Definitly the Purple Tang. Purples are the easiest to keep. And they get along with more fish than the others. A SailFin isn't that bad either but the Purple is much more colorfol and active.

LionFish says..... Well, EelMan I think we're gonna have to slow things down just a bit. I love tangs as much as the next person but I won't put a Tang into a tank until it is fully mature and 8 months old. A powder blue tang is very hard to keep if you don't have a large supply of algea. Purple...

LionFish says..... Moonwwave, have no fear. My firefish was missing for 3 days and I was very worried I had wasted my money on a FireFish. I had to move some rock to get him to come out. As soon as I got him out he never left the front. He now thinks he dominates the tank.

LionFish says...... Well I'm setting up my second reef tank in a couple months. Now it will be a 70 gallon breeder. My question is do Emperor Angels enjoy a coral snack. I have many corals and would hate to see them get eaten. I'm trying to decide between a Flame or Emperor or even a Queen...

LionFish says..... Finally someone asks a question about something I'm an expert about. Glad to hear you're getting a Dwarf Lion. SOunds like a good mix of fish. Remember lions can grow quickly and they will eat anythiing small. This includes shrimp. SHrimp would be eaten in a heartbeat. I...

LionFish says..... Hey Mr. Salty, heres my idea. I'm setting up a 70 gallon reef in a couple months. It will have a lot of different corals in it. I was planning on getting a 2 inch juvi. The tankmates will go into the rank in this order. First will be my six line wrasse, then a Royal Gramma...

LionFish says...... Very well put Mr. Salty. I too like the DogFace Puffer. Kinda ugly but an awsome fish to watch. Hey Mr. Salty, now that I know that you have an Emperor Angel could you tell me what size tank they need and what fish could survive with them. I've been looking into them for a...

LionFish says.... Hey Sammy, I don't think they're ugly... I think they're down right hideous. Now this may be something that is just in the eye of the beholder. But in my eye why would you want such a dull fish when you can have beautiful fish like tangs or angels or lions? I got into Marine...

LionFish says.... I've got a Scooter Blenny in my reef tank. No, they aren't very colorful; actually they're pretty ugly. Mine stirs up the sand all the time. He is a riot to watch. Don't worry if ya can't find the little guy, they sleep under the sand. Hey, what fish do ya have in your fishh...

LionFish says.... Man, I've been there too. My last Coral Banded went back to the store because he tried to eat my Mandarin. He also tries to eat my Feather Dusters. They flushed him at the store because he ate all the Christmas Tree Worms. [This message has been edited by lionfish (edited...

LionFish says..... There are pros and cons to both of these kinds of fish tanks. Community is easier to keep, easier to feed and safer to put your hands in. But most community fish can be very skiddish while some community fish are very hardy and personable, I seem to like agressive fish. Now...

LionFish says.... It is not anybodys fault Krazzy. Really I believe you are a great shark. All I'm saying is that there is an obvious open spot for a shark. I'm sure everybody has noticed this. I just wanna know if there will be a new shark or if Mr.Salty gets to be a full shark. I want to here...

LionFish says.... This does bring a good point up. Isn't a bit odd that Mr. Salty was put on only the reef board? This doesn't just concern the sharks. I think we would like to know if their is going to be a new shark or if Mr. Salty will get to be a full shark. Personally I think Mr. Salty...

LionFish says...... Well I seem to like our little arrangement of new sharks. We lost The Rock And Kris. But it seems like we have an interesting open spot in Fish only Discussion and Disease and Treatment Discussion. Now don't get me wrong here people, I do like the shark arrangment but as you...
