I have my 55 gallon reef tank and I have always wanted a dwarf zebra lion fish but I don't think it would get along too well in the 55 with everything else in there. I am wondering if a 29 biocube would be sufficient to keep up with a single dwarf zebra lion fish? I thought I could add some rock and make it a mini reef, maybe with some frags from my 55...but basically just the single fish...perhaps some snails..but that is pretty much it. I am not too familiar with the Biocubes though...I like the idea of everything being contained into one simple unit..but will something like this keep up with the waste from a dwarf lion fish?

Instead of feeder goldfish, you may consider feeder shrimp from a seller on eBay. They are saltwater and a bunch can be dumped into the display at a time. Much easier imo.

I'm doing it right now. I feed mine live ghost shrimp and mysis though. I don't like mysis because they're too small and he only eats the the large pieces... I may switch to krill though.
This is my lion
