Your layout looks a bit spacey, i'm sure once you get more time and get some more LR in there it will look great, it looks good though for just a few months, it's coming along well.

Good job, keep it up.

Yeah I understand, plus LR is kind of expensive aswell, so most of the time you can't get all of the LR you want at once.

Um I hate to be the blunt of bad news but your lion fish might start picking on your clown fish or even kill it. They can become very aggressive. I would keep an eye on him.

Do you have a sump or a hob filter? If you have a sump you can add the LR in there. Looks good!!!!!
