Lionfish foray.

[tomtom39]

Thanks for letting me join the group. I have sw experience through work but currently have a 29gallon with 6 grow out angelfish that decided to become 3 pairs. Currently have wigglers and a new batch of eggs in last hour. Planning on a fowlr retrofit with a oversize skimmer and power head. I'm planning on using the live rock as main filtration system as I find canisters on sw to be nitrate factories. The tank will eventually be home to a young dwarf lionfish as solo occupant. What are your opinions?

Welcome. I love lions. We have a great resource for lion fish here. He might even stop by with your title name. I will say if you stay fish only rock would be great, but canisters would be ok. (No one will agree with me) No3 is more of an issue when you get into coral, but also can cause algae in fish only. Make sure to send pics.

A fuzzy dwarf would possibly be an option, but even those should be minimum of 40 gallons.

Welcome to R2R!!! One option for the canister filter (if you already have one) is to stuff it with filter floss and use it for mechanical filtration (and occasionally chemical filtration) and then clean it every week or two along with using the live rock for the biological filtration. Whatever you decide, we're glad you're here!

Welcome!!! Glad you made it in....I had to apply a dozen times and even then they wanted proof I wasn't some FW planted tank spy.
