This is my Third tank i started with a 10 gal at home then upgraded to a 55 gal which has been flawless for over a year and i need to desparately upgrade that its too small for myself and the 6 fish i have in it. the lion is at my office i also have another 50 gal fish only tank at the office but it was no place for my prized lion so lol here i'am as for putting a fish in with the lion it was just a thought that i could find something that would be suitable in there it doesnt have to be a fish i plan on putting mushrooms in there and wanna know if there are any starfish or sea stars that would be good for the tank?

Fair enough!

I agree about canisters... PITA for maintenance but can do the job. I myself have used AC30s on smaller tanks solely for surface skimming or carbon while using a canister.

Hope it goes well!
