First of all.... I apologise for the dirty glass, I was in a rush after doing some maintenance in the tank & wanted to get off a few decent pics while the lionfish was being somewhat active and all I had was my mobile fone camera :grinyes:

Anyways, here's my tank... ta-dah!

The pvc piping loops back & around the middle of the tank in a 'U' shape - was part of my initial plan to get a snowflake, but after some research & feedback from you guys (and gals :))... it's now more of a saftey area for the hermits (when the lionfish is on the prowl) as well as helping to support the LR and a potential home for a dwarf golden moray eel (well, I can dream can't i? :))
Still wanting to build up some more rock on the right hand side of the tank, but I'm pretty happy with the set-up so far.....

Well that about does it for now..... I'll post some better quality pics when I get my real camera back.. and when the glass is clean.. haha! :grinyes:

Thanks everyone :)

Grins - yeah its only the one, I was in the back room of my LFS and spied it in one of their quarantine coral tanks and quickly snapped it up.. so much for my idea of only having a FOWLR tank!
Plus within an hour or so of it being in the tank, the clown decided to host it, so that was an unexpected bonus too :)
 
awsome tank mate why did u decide not to get a snowflake
love the lion i just got one myself there awsome fish.......
cant wait to see more pics.
 
thanks ram303 - the snowflake would quickly grow too big for the tank size, plus it really limits the other choices I could have in stocking the tank. (the lil' hermit crabs have a hard enough time evading the lion at the moment, let alone having to take on an eel too :))

I like the colorful rock. Looks like your lion is having a great time exploring.
