    What to feed a lionfish???

    Because frozen fortified with vitimans are much heathlier. He will grow faster with brighter color. And there is nothing wrong with the live treat every now and then, espically when you've got company and want to sahow off!!! :D :D

    Refugiums!! store bought or home made?

    Keep the sump and refugium seperate. You can section off part of your sump for a refugium. The reason is a refugium has light and water flow requirements. The refugium flow is very small compared to a sump. As for the lighting, 12 hours a day (give or take}.
