If your implying volitan lionfish you'd need like 300g or more. They get very big and 5 of them would be awesome, but crazy.
If you're talking about dwarfs maybe a 180g or 240g.

If hes talking dwarfs I would say like 75-100 gals.

For 5 V. Lions in a 180? I'd say over that.
Also Sigeia, all those lions will have a big bio-load so you're going to need one heck of a skimmer.

Id probably agree. A 180 would be enough with good filtration. They get big but they don't swim like a tang. There slow moving just lurking around the tank. You want enough to water to make the tank stable and enough so they can move around, not miles of swimming room.

I guess, but if I were the one doing it, I'd go with a 240g. JMO
