Stocking Q's for a 55G Tank

i ahd thought that tomatoes get bigger. Up to 5 inches. and i believe only moroons get bigger than that. I know clarkiis do get big though. well if you are correct, which i didnt think so but you could be, your eel or your lion will not be able to eat a 5 inch tomato clown. keep in mind though that they have to grow together. But once they get that big, you migtht have some filtration problems. are you going to have a sump? add more lr? what type of filtration are you goign to have?
all yoru fish will get along fine now, but you might have some nitrate and nitrite issues without proper filtration
 
PS: tomatos are also more agressive, but you look to be oging towards at least a semi-agressive minus the angel and the gramma.
 
Right now I'm not exactly sure what filtration I'll be using since I'm not the one that bought any of it, but I know he has atleast some type of undergravel filter and a Tetra Whisper 30-60 Power Filter. What else will I need? And about the Clarkii, most sites say that they get up to 6".

ditch the undergravel filter. It is old technology that doesnt do any good, just traps waste that cause nitrates. Run a lot of carbon in the whisper, get a good protein skimmer, some powerheads, and if you can, get a sump.refugium
