I had a volitan lion in my reef "125 Gal" till he got the size of a basket ball. He now resides in a 300 Gal at a local casino cared for by a friend of mine. They are reef safe with the exception of anything that fits in their mouth is going to be dinner. I would add a dwarf lion now except my hippo tang is a 6" fin nipping machine! They are very docile and don't swim much except to eat. I think a 90 gallon would be OK "IMO" if it were lightly stocked. Some of the fish Travis mentioned would be excellent choices. Do some research and decide, Lions are intelligent wonderful pets. They are very interesting and aware of everything going on around them. Mine would get exited when I was preparing his dinner 20 feet from the tank. He always had an eye on me. Observant intelligent animal "for a fish"

Also, having a tank with these kind of fish you cant be afraid of frequent water changes
