I would definitely get rid of those pebbles (I think the artificially colored ones are worse than regular ones) and the lobster.
The tank does look nice and interesting, though I wonder how long that lobster will last.

Im thinking of getting one now. Theyre only 15.99 and if anything the turtles are bigger than the lobster. I think the worst thing that could happen is the turtles might have a really expensize lunch.

you don't have to do anything to take care of the lobster, he comes out at night and cleans up the turtles mess, they eat trash. To be honest the turtles dont even pay attention to the lobster, it hides most of the day and they really dont even see each other (so chill on worrying about the lobster pinching the turtles. The 1st day Demarco went over to say "hi" to the Lobster and the lobster was on the other side of the tank quicker than i could watch, they move VERY FAST.

The tank looks good but your UVB should be covering more of the basking area. I would ditch the gravel and fill it up with water. BTW where's the turtle, can't see him/her in any pics.

The lobster is a great idea. He looks so cute in there and I would love to see the interaction between it and the turtles. I think the whole tank set up is great.

The lobster will most likely at some point be lunch.
