Pics of my 55gal setup

by clown fish you mean the nemo ones right, ocellarus's? if you're gonna i would sugest just getting true perculas. they're a little bit more expensive but in my mind worth it.

i would skip the hippo tang. even tho they get to the right size for this kinda tank they swim around way too much and need more space.
i would get;
a couple of chromis
some firefish
a coral beauty ot flame angel
yellow tang
clown gobies
scissortail gobies
zebra lined dartfish
jawfish
alot of options 55 is a good size for some of the smaller marine fish.

what are you gonna do for inverts?
you've got adaquite lighting for some lower light corals and anenomes.

I have a True Percula and I think they are great.

A dwarf Lion would be able to eat the clowns?

How about a dwarf zebra lion fish has anybody had or seen one the pictures look cool.

wha-bam!

a lion would definately eat like perculas or occelarus. if you went with like clarkii, sebae, or maroons they would be safe as they got bigger.
as with larger damsels like dominos and sergent majors.

Ok here is the list 3 chromis, 2 clowns (nemo), 1 blue damsel and 1 flame hawkfish. Do you think it would be ok to put in a coral beauty angel or would that be to much? I want a bubble tip for the clowns how long should I wait to put that in?

Personally, if it was me, i would drop the damsel, they can get very territorial and agressive and have the coral beauty instead...The flame hawkfish is sucha cool fish, but, they do have a little tendancy to be slightly agressive to other bottom dwellers in the tank...

If you serious about a nem, i would wait at least a good 8 or 9 months miniumum to give the tank some chance to mature. Depending on the nem you want to buy, i would suggest you are going to need a lot more lighting power than what you currently have ( if am reading one of your previou posts correctly )..

These are just my opinions based on experience of course...

I think you should go with a d. lion. but whatever you go with you gotta post some pics when they are in the tank!!!

if you do the occelarus i think they will get eaten. ther's an old saying with mixing lions "don't put it with anything that you'd cry about losing"

the coral beauty would be fine and i too would also try to lose the damsel, they can be SO much trouble.

Nice looking live rock...good colors...Anyways for fish definatly go with clowns and my suggestion is keep it small...no tangs go with like purple pseudichromises (spelled wrong) royal gramma's...etc keep it small and colorful in a tank like that...
