Cool, I miss my lionfish - loved watching him eat live mollies! Careful though, they'll eat almost anything they can fit in their mouth!

but i have like 3 day he haven eat nothing what else can i have him

What are you trying to feed him? You can try frozen krill, but he may need to be enticed with live food for the fist few weeks. Mollies from petco/petsmart work good and you can usually get them for about $2 each - they will live long enough in your saltwater tank for him to eat...

BTW, read the below thread, it will give you some idea of what to expect in the coming days/weeks:

Do you have a kit to test your water parameters? You should also get one of those if not. If you are going to keep a reef tank, keeping your water quality in check is THE most important item.

i have two kinds of test kits the dip strips and the saltwater master liquid test kid

Hello and welcome. I would not add any fish or coral until the tank is cycled. as stated above, get yourself some test kits, they will answer a lot of your questions as well. nice set up.

I have a question. Did u buy the setup new or used? Who lied to you when they said u could put fish in after setting up tank. You needed to wait at least a few weeks after ur tank cycled to add any kind off live stock. I have a book you can borrow to help you learn the hobby in a better way.

Also a lion fish is not reef safe. They will eat shrimp, crabs, smaller fish, and pretty much all crustations.

LMK if u want to cruse up to Yucaipa. I have some macro algae u can have. It will help ur tank fight PO4
