if i did this right there should pics of the house tank= 38 gal cube thank

Well thats a start.. Was thinking about putting in a dwarf lion fish? Would that be a bad ideal? would i be better off making a tank just for him. I was thinking about trying to build a 29 gal bow front tank just for the little guy and making it a reef tank that could hold the dwarf lion or would that tank be to small to ?

Lions are mess eaters and will eat anything which they can grab. What other fish do you have right now? I could see a Lion working under the right conditions, but its not recommended.

I like the layout of the mushrooms and yellow leather!

That aquascaping is pretty neat... I wouldn't add a large fish to it though. There's some rock gobies that are really interesting, and do well in a smaller tank. How long has the tank been running? Be sure to allow time for the tank to adjust to any changes you make before making others.

I think the 29 gal would be a little on the small side for the dwarf lionfish

Thanks.THe tank was started May 26 06 . DO you know wear i could find a pic of thes rock gobies. I had added a dimond gobie and 4 day later it dies so i think i am going to wait a little longer till i get fish. But if any one could suggest any fish that would be good for my tank that would be great
