 Re: new tank NO experience!
[quote author=MacnReef link=board=Newbie;num=1101582022;start=0#13 date=12/16/04 at 12:48:30]OMG...am I reading this. *I can't even read the responses so I am just going to post. *A LIONFISH in a nanocube and you are asking about a seahorse...I am hoping this is a joke and I didn't get it.
A lionfish needs a lot of food, hence major waste. *With a tank of that size you can not provide enough mechanical or biological filtration for that fish, not to mention putting that fish in a 12g tank! *Then you ask about a seahorse...dude you need to read. *Stop watching finding nemo and pick up a book...
A seahorse is very hard to keep in any tank with other fish because they are such slow feeders that usually their food is consumed before they make it to it. *Plus a lionfish would probably mutilate the seahorse. *Sorry to sound so harsh but this is crazy!

Seems like You havent read or had ANY experience with nano-systems. Ive set people up with dwarf fuzzies in cubes (nano)...theres more filtration in a stock nano cube that A FLUVAL 204 (3 sponge filters that are about 5x3x3....carbon bag the size of a fluval 304's, and the same amount of bio-media (i usualy stick more carbon or spong)!!! I think you should read...not to be offensive or anything .....also when you add LR and LS there is more than enought filtration for a small lion as they DONT eat alot, illinformed or inexperiened aquarists feed them too much. As for Sea horses.....any book specifically on them will tell you that it ios best to stock them in 3,5,or ten gallon tanks and in small0-large groups due to the volume of minute foods you must introduce. Had an eclipse three on display at work with a group of 5 dwarfs and they spawned regularly until they were purchased with the system, they live to this day(2 years later). ?The combo though.....i agree wioth you, laughable! But one ore the others are very possible with experience or care....not for newbies. _________ Yes, tiny has an 11" legspan......  |
