If you want to keep the bigger fish your gunna have to seriously upgrade mate the koran will soon out grow your tank!!!!
As for the lion personnaly im not a fan cos if you ever need to do any maintanance you need to know exactly where they are or you could end up in hospital:eek::D

Also, won't the Lionfish hunt the other fish, especially at night?

Exactly why they should be left in the sea IMO:D

You need a bigger tank sadly. Mine is over 500 litres and thats still too small really for a lionfish.
