I had just gotten a lionfish for my 75 gallon, I was wondering if I should be using a powerhead for a little current or just leaving it out, and I wanted to know what was the best live food to feed him? He's about 5" right now, another question is, the water is getting kind of cloudy, ne ways to clear up the saltwater in the tank?
 
you should always have current in a saltwater tank, you never want your water to stand still probably another reason for the water getting cloudy.
 
ouch poor lion, i'm thinkin your definately gonna have to do some major research about cycling a tank and the basics on setting up a saltwater tank altogether.
 
since ya haven't gotten a whole lot of input i'll add.

definately keep the powerhead in, SW tanks need current

live is not the best foods for Lions (or any fish imo) especially feeder ish as they lack all nutrients nd can lead to impaction. instead try for things like squid, krill, shrimp, crab mear, other frozens. keep it varied for best results.
