That's cool. Good luck. Wanna see some pics when you get it. :)
+1 110% Someone else lost theirs Tuesday to malnutrition, although it was feeding well on just brine. They need a variety of meaty foods.
If a 6" lionfish is too large for a 55g tank, there's almost nothing you can put in a 20. Follow the link I provided and research the 4...
Any of those four will be fine in a 55g. Personally, I like the Dwarf Zebra. :) Lionfish
Looks like a good unit. Congrats on the upgrade. One word of caution, though... you might need to acclimate your corals to the new lighting.
Very beautiful. Love the scape and coral selection.
+1 What do you want to change, and why?

I want HIM! lol. He'd look real nice beside Avicious (Royal Ball Python) and Carlton (Columbian Red-Tail Boa). :D That's a beautiful King Snake...
Appears to be an encrusting sponge, one of the many beneficial hitchhikers.
