New SW Tank

[comm]

Hello,
I am thinking about setting up a SW tank. I have had freshwater tanks in the past and would like to try SW now. I would really like a lionfish, but I only have a 30g tank to work with. Would a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion Fish be fine in a tank this size? If so, would I be able to keep any other fish in the tank? Thank you very much for any advice.

Welcome to AA.com! If you have never had SW, I would suggest buy a copy of "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Robert Fenner to begin with. That will give you a good head start.
IMO, a fuzzy dwarf would be OK in a 30 gal. I wouldn't try to keep anything else in there though. Fish loads have to come down a bit when you're dealing with predators because they generate lots of waste. I would plan on having a good wet/dry and a good skimmer (no Seaclone or Prizm).

30 gal would be perfect for it by itself and planty of live rock
