I am relativily new to marine tanks but I have been keeping freshwater tanks for over 10 years. I have a 36gallon with 40lbs of live rock and a 29 with about 25lbs. In my 36 I have a dwarf zebra lion, 2 clowns and a leopard toby puffer. I have had the 36 for a few months and spend nearly all my time researching on my current livestock and on future prospects. One thing you mentioned that caught my attention was your choice of food for your lion. I have read that feeding the lionfish freshwater feeders can be bad for the fish and create some problems on its own. Guppies and rosies are high in fats and low in good quality highly unsaturated fats that the lion needs. I have been successful in feeding my lion frozen krill on the feeding stick you can find at your local fish store. It is also good to supplement the krill with vita chem or some sort or vitamin. But if the fish will not eat the frozen, which is a strong possiblity ghost shrimp may be your best alternative. I also recommend gut feeding the shrimp with a high quality marine flake food and even vita chem.
