i ask for opinions. anyones here is just another opinion to consider and if it goes against everything else that ive heard, im not just going to change my mind because one or two people on a single forum tell me to, if i did that i would constantly be changing all my methods and practices hour to hour. as a matter of fact i took the criticism of the seaclone and looked into it and now plan on going with a super skimmer. these pellets have a decent smell from what i have heard and talking to others with lions some get to the point where they will take anything that slowly sinks through the water column, and once the morays are used to feeding off tongs or a feeding stick, it may not be hard to switch what is on that feeding stick to something else. and again, i never said i wouldnt feed them if they wont eat the new life spectrum foods, i simply said thats what i want to feed them. as far as tank size for the radiata, a couple sources including recommendations given here are over 55 gallons, most sources in books and online seem to recommend minimum tank size as somewhere between 30 and 55 gallons. so based on the average, the 55 is fine. i think a 10" fish can turn around just fine in a 12" wide tank. all in all i take into consideration all opinions and then look at trends and what makes the most sense biologically. there is no possible way to go by all opinions so that cant be expected. so thank you for everyone's input and please let me know about any other concerns you see or recommendations you may have.
