Its been so long! What should I do with my tank?

Wow, I used to spend soo much time on here when I had a boring desk job.
Anyways, I have just moved to a nice new spot with my nice new girlfriend :rollface:

My tank is still at the old house, and I am somewhat torn on what to do with it.
I have always wanted a lionfish. I have had my female b&w clown for over 4 years. The male for about 2 years.

After the last move, I gave ALL of my corals away because my ex girlfriend was a lazy retard (lol) and could not do a WC to save her life..(she owns a nano reef). I guess its my fault for believing she would take care of it. wtvr

So,.. should I keep my beloved clowns, or bite the bullet and trade for a lion??

Prob a dumb question, but is it possible to keep BOTH, with a bubble tip maybe??

Any suggestions or similar experience would be greatly appreciated, THANK YOU!!

here is a pic of what it once was...

I've owned a bunch of Volitan Lions. A Volitan WILL eat your clowns. I have a black clown pair now. I prefer them over a Lion any day. Lion's are pretty dull IMO.
 
I will probably keep the clowns then. I think the lionfish would outgrow my 55g, and then I'd be in another bad postition.

Any suggestions on what I should add with my current fish?

It seems boring right now...
 
As far as easy to find, relatively affordable, fairly hardy fish go, the Midas Blenny is one of my favorites.
 
What do you have now as far is livestock? Looks like you got some blue/green chromis and a yellow watchman in there along with your clowns and a sailfin. Those still in there? If so sort of restricts what else you can add.
 
I think the most under rated fish in the hobby is the Coral Beauty dwarf angel.
For a colorful active fish at a low price they cannot be beat, and when I stare at mine he comes out to the front glass and "turns on" the blue and is really a beautiful fish.
And there should be no aggression issues with your clowns or your sailfin if you still have it.
