Just want to fix a few things

Lionfish can only be kept with Bluethroat, Pinktail, or Niger triggers. Lionfish can not be kept with puffers. Puffers can be kept in A FO or FOWLR tank because they barely ever puff or release toxins.

Live rock is a good means of filtration but you still need a protien skimmer in anything over a 12 gallon tank.

Most marine fish should be fed 2 times a day if u feed a little and 1 time every day if u feed a lot

I meant that triggers and lionfish should not be kept together for the most part. Most people don't have a clue that there are so many different types of triggers and will just chuck any old fish in with another fish and then freak out when they start killing each other.

"Barely ever" is still taking a chance. As I said, it's your choice, but I think it's not very smart to keep them with other species.

By no means is a skimmer absolutely necessary. I'm running a tank without one right now, as a matter of fact.

2-3 times a day is the very best situation. 1 large meal is very unhealthy unless you are talking about eels or other fish which eat large meals very infrequently in the wild. Notice the "IME and IMO"? (In my experience and in my opinion)

• Marine fish should be fed at least 2-3 times a day otherwise they become thin and malnurished. (IME and IMO )

My fish are lucky if I feed them once a week, but I can get way with it because I choose my fish according to my tank and not what looks pretty.
