    Yeah may want to post your dream on here as well.. i bet we could achieve it much cheaper. I only have about $500 in my 125g 6 footer...

    I have a bit more now that I redid the sump and bought at $300 skimmer.. but still.. i have less than $1000 in my tank easy.

    As far as fish.. check out a zebra moray eel or maybe a porcupine puffer.

    Lions dont need much space from what I have heard and neither do eels they are both fairly non moving creatures except at feeding time. Every where you look both fish have a 50 gallon min.

    any one who tells you a lion would be fine in a 55 long term is lieing to you. Only lion that would be fine in a 55 long term would be a dwarf.

    Snowflake eels don't outgrow a 55 as long as there aren't any other fish. But I don't know if I want another snowflake eel. There is so much waste from them, even though they have great personalities. I was thinking some type of frogfish would be cool.

    What about a nice emp angel? it will take it a while to outgrow the tank and thay are awsome fish that cant go into a reef.

    yea go for the frogfish. in that size tank one or maybe two would be cool (idk if they can be housed together). that would be a cool setup for them.
