Ok, so what do you have in the tank?? You might be better off getting more live rock, depending what you have in the tank that is............but if you have animals that produce alot of waste then it might be better to get a skimmer.........

Standard school of thought - ie: 1-2 lbs of liverock per gallon (depending on density of the rock) is based on a medium load and a decent skimmer.
Having a very light load (ie: very few small fish) and no skimmer, you'd probably be okay with only a little liverock. Assuming you've got a DSB?

hhmmmm........you might want to go with a skimmer first, lions are pretty dirt fish, plus you have an eel and a puffer, a skimmer will be needed if you are wanting to eventually put any kind of corals in, but after you get the skimmer I would start getting live rock.........jmo

Lionfish, if you've got the time, go down to Venice Pet Center on 41 just north of Jacaranda and south of Shamrock. Ask for Neil. He's actually got a biology degree. Killer guy and best prices in the area. Tell him Chris & Christy sent you.

Dont spend your money on a Seaclone. IMO you would do better buying $100.00 of live rock then wasting it on a junk Seaclone.
