Nice,

True you'd have to figure that part out too.

Do you think you could keep macro in a separate small HOB? As a nitrate filter (treat it almost as a filter medium)?

One of my favorite ways to set up any aquarium is by specialty (groups). For example 5 yellow or other tangs, and one or two additional groupings (small schools). This offers a very nice centralized display with a little variety. Coordinate your colors to your liking and to the aquascape of the...

lol-

Lol, does edit work a day later?! Lol

Has anyone successfully kept P. Volitan Lion and Hermit Crabs? I'm planning a 90g single Lion only tank with a leather coral of some type. Perhaps toadstool, and I'd like to keep some blue legged and electric blue banded hermits. Im pretty well familiar with lion characteristics and...

Smile. Didn't consider the implications. Thanks.

I dont have any and never saw them in LFS but they can be ordered online from number of places including reef2reef.com.

Thats what my research suggests. Lions aren't aggressive just food opportunist. So if it fits their mouth (thank you lord for this meal!) Lol. I think they'll be ok. Have you seen the blue banded crabs? Absolutely beautiful.

The dwarfs are great though. I wouldn't mind having one. I've just always wanted to have a centerpiece Volitan lionfish display. Such a nice display when its done right. Im going to try some blue banded crabs with lion see if they survive.

Lol. Yep theyre tough to break in to frozen dinners.

Thanks jay/mauler for helping me think this out...

Yes, I'm familiar with the dwarfs. Now talk about uninteresting! They're rocks compared to their larger cousins P. Volitans. I do like them though, nice looking fish and interesting still to watch-- one would make a nice companion for the Volitan if I decided. They're not as hardy as the P...

I'm thinking I'll try the canister alone, watch my numbers and see if anything else is needed. If it isn't broken otherwise, just leave it alone. It's just one fish.

lol, yes you're right on both points--

Yes-- I see your point. Closest thing to actual particle (removal) if you had to choose between it and canister on basis of actual waste removal. Only comparable difference between them otherwise is the three part filtering advantage of the canister. You know, I've been thinking about keeping a...

Good point mauler. I'm sure I'll just want the lion fish. The tank is being setup as a lion display tank only. Other than some leather coral or urchins. I will be setting up a separate 125 or larger as a multiple fish display. The 90's just for the lion. The volitans spend quite a bit of time...

Hello form, Nice forum community. Question: I am planning on setting up a 90 gallon SWT. 1 Volitanlionfish, and 1 Leather or other coral. Sand substrate andlive rock. Perhaps 1-2 Black Sea Urchins (stil undetermined about the urchins). I am considering a Marineland C220 Canister Filter...
