well on a more depressing note. lost my lionfish for unknown reasons today. walked over to my tank and there he was getting picked apart clean by my hermit crabs. he was eating fine, nitrates where in the 30's and no signs of sickness. it feels really discouraging right now with that. my foxface...

bangaii cardinal's would be a nice choice. add a variety of colors and species.

thos mombassas are awesome looking. it was another one i wanted to get.

ouch that sucks...sorry for your loss. there fun fish to watch.

but thanks for the info :) pics when i get some more stuff!

lol. im used to that already. the only thing in my tank that wont give me some nasty pain right now is my maroon clown and my snails/hermits

will do appreciate the advice :) now i just gotta find a LFS here that sells the nass and conch's....are all conch's ok and good for it or are there only select ones?

how many conch's would you suggest i get for a 55? i heard they eat rather quickly so maybe 2 or 3?

not buying the goby. i will wait a while. but i do want something to sift through my sand. any suggestions? i heard conches are good

my sand is far from empty. there is alot going on in there thats why i want the goby. when i had moved it from the guy i purchased it from i think i sturred up ALOT of bad stuff that had been dormant inside the water. so all of that algae is coming out. i have a good bunch of diatoms in there...

its not quite big enough yet for silver sides. ive been trying to feed him krill with garlic. i have a clear spoon with one of those twists that you get with bread with the paper taken off and wrapped around the stick but he wont go for it at all :/ little bugger. any suggestions on a sand...

ive been told that they will hide like that for a couple days to a week. so id like him be for a bit and let him come out when he wants. he will want to feed eventually and id make sure to keep food ready for him. maybe drop some in every few days to entice him out

well it was feeding day today as my lion wouldnt go for frozen yet i bought some ghost shrimp. only got 6 and found out the darn maroon fed all of them to the nem....so i had to go back out and get 2 dozen more and i saw the lion take a couple of them so at least i know he's eaten at least some...

put in? yes. kept in there? no. if you want something to stay in that tank a one spot foxface will work

thats USD. pounds it would be cheaper

there not that expensive. ive seen them on sale around here used for 150 bucks? new though there around 300-400.

if you want a canister filter, get the fluval. like i said with my fx5. its easy to take apart and clean just a hassle to do it so regularly. mines going for sale soon but your just a bit far away to make the price worth it with shipping lol.

what do you plan to do with it? are you talking about canister filters or just HOB filters? i have a fluval fx5 that i use currently on my setup till i get my sump im working on going. it does its job and cycles through my 55 gallon 4 times per hour. they do require alot of cleaning if you dont...

thanks. i have 2 nice sized caves he likes to run inside and hide in when i come. and when he thinks im not looking pokes out and grazes on the algae. and alright. how long should i wait for the skimmer to break in before i start worrying about it shooting all those bubbles in the tank?

yeah. ill give it a few more days to fix itself. this isnt a new skimmer though but i did clean it so i guess it has to redo itself?

yup. 50 gal requirement. they get a good size on them so you'll enjoy it

thats the one i have. its a awesome lion. quite the little bugger i have :) just make sure what you have is large. mine is only 2-3 inches right now so i can keep him in with more smaller stuff but they get 7 inches so just be prepared to only get bigger fish

also what kind of lionfish are you talking about as there are lots of different ones that grow to different sizes. id assume with the 60 gal your looking at the dwarf species

i havnt had any issues with my lion or other fish with aggression other then my yellow eye kole tang. which i got rid of. he tried to kill my wrasse and lionfish. i ended up with a one spot foxface for now as ill be upgrading to a 75 in the somewhat near future. they are the smallest of them and...

i was hoping more of a fish idea, but ill be picking up more cleaners tomorrow when i head to the store. looking at a new skimmer as well. i think mine decided to go splat :/
