My wife and I are considering converting our 29G freshwater tank into a saltwater tank to house the dwarf lionfish we saw at the LFS. But before we do, I just want to know a little more about these guys. I read the article in Reefkeeping about lionfish, so I know about feeding, nutrition, proper environment, etc. But I just wanted some opinions before going ahead with it.
1. Is a 29G enough for the dwarf zebra lionfish? I've seen 30G minimum size. But is this really enough?
2. Do I need a skimmer for this tank? Or would a normal filter work just fine? (Assuming weekly/bi-weekly waterchanges and so on. I have an AquaClear 70 on there right now.)
3. Is there anything special to know about this lionfish?
Thanks for any help! I appreciate it.
