what type of filter do u reccomend for a 55 gallon agressive system, it will not be stocked that heavily, it is currently a chicklid tank with a penguin 330, i am goin to add livesand and some liverock do i need to buy another filter of just some powerheads i might also buy another penguin, o yea by the way, is it a dwarf lion that looks like a volation or is it another small species, i am asking this because i want a lionfish but i dont have room for a volation but i was reading a book about a lionfish that looked like a volation but didnt get near as big

I have 54 and use a fluval 304. It has worked really well for me and is easy to care for.
As for the lion, I am also interested in a dwarf and it sounds like you did indeed see a pic of a dwarf zebra lion. It could also be an Antennata, which is also a dwarf. The Antennata has longer fins as compaired to a zebra.
Lionfish told me the Antennata would probably be to large for our size of tank.
I have also heard that the little guys can be very difficult to feed. I still really want one, but it will be a big commitment to get it off live food. Let me know what you have heard about them.
