Talking to the husband at dinner tonight, it sounds like the Fu is a definite.
We're not sure whether or not we're going to do a 55 or a 40Breeder at the moment. I'd like to have my 3 Maldives Lyretails and a pair of Gold Bar Maroon Clowns with a RBTA in the tank. We'll see where this goes. It sounds so boring to me since I'm so used to having tons of fish in a reef setting and I'm stealing this stock list from someone else, so I feel like it's not my own.

No I dont have a problem at all sharing what Cranberry sent me in the PM here is what she had to say:
If the lion can't eat it and the mate doesn't bug it, they'll get along fine. They are a super friendly fish. Any CUC will do, except shrimp. They won't bother anything else in your standard CUC.
Besides training to eat frozen, fuzzies are a nice beginner fish. They are super hardy. And until one does it, everyone is a beginner whether they've been in the hobby for 1 year or 10. They are the best introductory fish to lions and scorps.
The reason I also wanted to know about what I could put in the tank with the Lion is because I like Maroon Clown fish and would like to have a pair of them in a tank and I will not put them in my Reef tank because of the aggression issues with them..

I also have a 55 gallon available - not decided yet - I guess bigger would be better. What kind of sand should be used with lion fish and I am really interested in growing some SW macro algae plants - what is avaible or what grows well, I know I have seen Saxman and Cranberry's tanks with macro algae. Not a lot of information on them.

The few times I have been stung, the pain that comes with applying pressure always lasted a few days. I have never been stung by my own lions though; just ones at stores that I have worked at over the years.

The bottom line is with proper forethought and planning, there's a lionfish for pretty much everyone that has a tank bigger than 25 gals. Once established, they're hardy, disease-resistant fish that are mild-mannered and quickly become pets. So much so, it would be tuff to give up any of our personal specimens. Yes, you can get stung, but it's not deadly, and I can say that the chances are low if you respect the fish and know where it is when your hands are in the tank.
We now return you to the Cranberry Show, already in progress.
