It's a 50 gallon (32x24x16) and uses a single 1/2" line for flow which is teed off a Dart return pump. I'm guessing around 400 GPH tops.

Nice tank. So your lion and eel (think I see one) don't eat them?

Nope, I think the key is size. If it were small enough it would likely get eaten.

I can't say that seahorses are compatible with lionfish and eels but if you're careful it can be done. If you stick with a smaller lionfish such as a dwarf and the seahorse is bigger than food it could easily eat then you should be fine. And a less aggressive eel such as a ribbon eel seems to pose little threat.

In the tank I currently have a Fu-Man-Chu Lionfish, a Ghost Ribbon Eel, a small Frogfish, and an Engineer Goby. All have proved suitable tank mates.

Yesterday I added something new that I have to admit has me a little nervous

wow shelps a really nice choice of fish you have there!!

I bet anyone adding the last fish would be kinda shaky as it's not exactly the cheapest fish on the block.....
