Hello,
I've been a long time lurker but now I have some stocking questions. So a few months back there I lost almost everything in my 93 gallon cube after a tank crash while I was on vacation and now I'm looking to turn my once reef tank into a lionfish tank. I have always wanted to do a tank like this and I figured now is as good a time as any! So, now onto the questions!
First, I'm really only interested in keeping the smaller species of lions (no volitans, miles or russelli) but I'm not sure which of the smaller species I can safely mix.
Second, how many lions could I realistically keep in a tank of this size? I have a large sump and a good skimmer so I'm more concerned about space issues.
Finally, I already have a marine betta that currently calls the tank home and I was wondering if he'd be compatible with lionfish. I do have a Innovative Marine Nuvo 40 which I picked up at MACNA that he could go into if need be.
Thanks!
Mike
