Maybe you could pack in a couple of sea turtles, whales and maybe a penguin or two. I think this is a hoax.

Just a little to much there buddy.

rfsmith82 · 02/14/2010, 12:52 PM

Ok, good!

I wanted to add 1 feather duster yes, tigertale seacumber don't know, blue andpink sea star no and no, auriga butterfly fish no, foxface no, humu picasso triggerfish no, yellow tang no, and a lion fish (med)no

IMO, a 55 is not a suitable tank for most of your selections. Sea stars IMO are best left in nature as they require large VERY well established tanks.
