    hey all, i have a few questions...

    ive had one before when it was VERY small, about 5-6 inches. i had it in my 30 gal to grow it out for the lfs. well, now that i have the 55 gallon i was wanting one again. i want a snowflake eel. but i also would like a dwarf lionfish. if this an overload of fish? i can do 10 gallon waterchanges weekly or more but wasnt sure if this was too much or not. its also a macro algae tank so that will help. i was just wondering. thanks

    well if its a fish only tank, nitrates shouldnt be too much off a problem. Just do it!

    Gexx, no offense, but shouldn't you get set up right first before buying more livestock? :confused:

    im thinking down the road. that tank is FUBAR for right now anyhow. it needs a lot of WC and i need the RO/DI for that. so nothing new till i get the stuff i need. just wondering if it would even work. and no offense taken.
