If its a question of if they can go in the tank then they absolutely. I would put 8-10 in a 55

Oh dear lord that tank is nuts. If you plan on putting the much coral in your 210 I feel sorry for your wallet . But IMO startfire is such a great thing to have especially in a reef like yours. Well worth it.

Oh boy this is gonna be sweet. I love these tank journals .

My lion is quite aggressive at feeding time but I think they should be in a different class of aggressive fish. They don't chase and bit other fish but they will eat whatever they can and can seriously hurt other fish with there spines. There no Trigger...but there no clownfish either.

Ya you can add sand. If its live sand just put it in but if not make sure to rinse it really really well or your tank will be super cloudy. Just fill a cup full of sand lower it to the bottom of the tank and pour it. Do whatever you can to minimize agitation.

I only take when something crazy happens or when there being mean to each other. I had a snowflake eel for a while with 2 clowns and during feeding time one day the eel snapped and started chasing all the other fish. I swear the neighbors down the block could hear me yelling "RUN NEMOS...

I'm sure theres nothing wrong with him. My valintini puffer does this all the time during feeding time. I hold the food a little over the water and he spits water and blows bubbles out of him mouth and gills. Very funny

Awe what a cute little guy.

I would put 5-10 in.

Ive always heard like 1-2 per gallon. Definitely more that 1 per 5 gals

Dwarf Zebras are great. You can keep everything they way it is just make sure there are caves and overhangs to provide shelter and shade. You'll probably have to start your lion on live food (ghost shrimp are best) until he accepts frozen food. You might have a little trouble but all lions...

I doubt your lion would eat the shrimp. If you got it when It was maybe 2 inches I would say you would be fine for life. IMO a fuzzy under 5 inches wouldn't touch a 2'' shrimp. And honestly would you rather have a lame shrimp are a kick ass lionfish?...Just sayin'

It happens to me all the time but luckily I put the jug in the bathtub. Even when it was there someone bumped the line out of the jug and it landed on the floor so for 2 hours it was pumping onto the floor...Floor soaked along with the carpet in the hall and the dining room ceiling downstairs...

Do you have any substrate in the tank yet? Live sand or argonite etc...

Wow that tank is really nice! Is that the 3 ft tank? If it is what kind of lights are you running because I have the 3 ft and want to start a reef.
