What Should I Get Next?

[haulme]

Hi all

I currently have a new setup and touch wood everything is going fantastic.

I have a 55 US Gallon Tank. 21KGS of live rock with some branch rock, Protein Skimmer, 42W T5 Lighting, External Cannister Filter, heater.

I have a Antennata Lionfish that is doing really well now, he's still a baby around 3 - 4 inches. Whenever he is hungry he comes to the top of the tank and looks at me to feed him.

I also have a Foxface Rabbit Fish thats also a baby around 3-4 inches. Loads of personality and after a brief spell acclimated his colour changes from pale spotted brown to a bright yellow.

I have a mushroom coral frag that I'm seeing how well its doing. It's living and looks like it has alot of translucent feeder things extended. I don't know what this is though.

I have no clean up crew on count of the lionfish so I am wondering what to get or whether I should get a uv steriliser.

What other bits and bobs should I also be getting now?

Uv could be a way to go if your sticking with fish. If your hoping to get some corals in there you'ed want to leave the uv off IMO so there is more water-borne life for them to feed. Might what to rethink the lighting if your wanting corals. 45w on a 55G is a bit low IMO.

As for whats next, with those fish you'll be looking at maybe one more preditor fish then that would be it I would think.
