Neeeew Hampshaaa
So heres my issue, i go to school over an hour away on the highway away from my house.. i live at school on campus and i just got another 55 to setup in my room. I got the Stand, a 55G tank, the lid, 2 heaters, a Wet/ Dry system, a Magnum 350 Canister.. now i am back at school and i need to wait another week to go home and start to setup more...
-I still need to get Live Rock/ Live Sand/ and light

When i finally have everything setup and running i am going to house my weaker tankmates first to get the accustom to their new home..example-goby/cardinal/blenny

My goal is to have a Lionfish tank...with...some feather dusters, a few small anenomes or coral, (not a fullout reef tank)

Dendichorus Zebra with... only a few tankmates
Either.........
-Lawnmower Blenny
-Few Cardinal fish
-Brownbarred Goby (for sand filtration)
-Clownfish-undecided on species..
-Scribbled RAbbitfish
-Marine Betta

Now which lighting would be sufficient for my needs?
Which fish (up to 4 or 5) would be most ideal for a life together?
Which filtration would be most suitable?
Which anenomes or corals are easiest ot keep in these conditions? (minimal lighting, Fish)
 
Lighting- For anemones, you are gonna need strong lighting. I would look into a Metal Halied light for those and corals too.

Fish - All the fish would be ok togather...but anything smaller that can fit in the lionfish's mouth will probably get eaten. Ive seen a lionfish devour cardinal fish like crackers, so keep that in mind. I would suggest A triggers or tangs, because they would atleast be able to stand up to the lionfish.

Filtration- For filtration your setup sounds pretty good. Make sure you cycle the LR and LS before you put too much in. I would suggest getting a protien skimmer though
