though lion fish and eels are cool youll regret it trust me..... dont get me wrong i love the hobby but my first tank i chose aggresive fish aswell only now its a few years down the road and im still stuck with these aggressive fish *thumbsdow seriously with aggresive fish that means no crabs, no snails, no shrimp,no corals, youll have poorer water conditions as these fish get bigger and are messier eaters....a 55 gallon tank would be bad a$$ setup as a fish only
with inverts tank to begin and then as you learn more maybe a year from now you can save up for better lighting and start introducing corals *thumbsups but the only way this will be possible is if you start out with 100% reef safe fish now that way nothing gets in your way down the road......now im stuck with a 125gallon aggresive tank wich i could only imagine being setup as a reef *SICK* the way i look at it if you want aggressive fish might as well stick with fresh water imao thats where salt and fresh are seperated salt is so much more interesting when you take a closer look and see evrything besides just the fish goin on in there ie. crabs, snails, shrimp, and many other inverts... im not tryin to tell you what to do just tryin you give sum advice
