+deangelove Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 More pictures to follow, as soon as I can remember to swap SD cards out. This tank is almost 4 weeks old. It also acquired some corals a little early, due to good intentions by my minion/mentee, in attempt to save them. So far, so good... hoping and testing everyday. Equipment: Fluval Sea LED M24 25000k 24watt T5 7800k 17watt ~5g DIY Sump PF300 Overflow Box CoralLife 65g Super Skimmer Hydor Koralia 240gph Circulation Pump Sicce Syncra Silent 3.0 - 714gph Return Pump And it seems like I'm missing something else... So I'll have to go check and update later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+deangelove Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 And this is Simba, a Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish. They are reef safe, aside from shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+deangelove Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 A better picture of Simba! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+deangelove Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Sounds bad, but it's pretty exciting that he's still alive & doing well. I'm much better at keeping corals than fish, but doing my best to change the trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+deangelove Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks! And yes, we still have Simba (Red Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish). We saw Mufasa @ RCA when we already had Simba, so we just setup & plumbed one of the extra tanks we had in storage for him. Pretty soon there will be more tanks in the house than people. Oh wait, there already is....lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Haha our house has more pets than people, I wish I could talk my wife into more tanks. Those lion fish are sweet! I've never had any luck with them. Do you feed them live food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+deangelove Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, we did have to start them off on gut loaded live ghost shrimp, but we've successfully managed to train them to happily accept non-live food. They have been eating frozen chopped up silversides & sardines for a couple of months, and all is well. They both even come up to the glass to beg for food now, and Simba has been known to spray water at you if you get closer to the top of the tank than he thinks you should be... lol. And we even have a baby Nala now too, she's tiny and in the 'fuge until we move. She's also a Yellow Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish. I haven't been able to get a picture of her, yet, but hopefully soon!

+deangelove Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here's a more recent photo of Simba. His colors have gotten more vibrant since we first brought him home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
