Hi there, I haven't posted much but I'm been reading a lot of your threads and I have a couple quick questions.
I am planing on eventually converting my 38g to salt and housing a dwarf zebra lion, all by his lonesome self. I won't add any more fish, I know. I'm wondering tho if I should have a clean up crew, I'm guessing yes for the detritus. What crew can I have that won't be eaten? I would like a blue legged hermit or two if possible, just because I like their blue legs! Also can I have a starfish of some sort, and again would it be ok with the lion? My lfs usually has chocolate chip stars, but I hear they're bad with corals, etc... for now I just have a couple small zoo's and a couple button polyps, oh and 4 mushrooms. Would a choco chip eat them?
Oh, one more while I'm thinking of it. I've heard some people don't use filters, they only use their skimmer. Would that be a wise decision? The filter and skimmer on my 20g will be put onto the 38g. I have a Whisper HOB and a Coralife skimmer, both rated to 65 gallons. I do not have a sump.
Thanks for your help!
