10 gallon reef

Im not sure where the nano reef part is on these forums but I was wondering if in your opinion 48watts of lighting, also with direct sunlight hitting he tank from the back would work for a 10g reef w/ 2 Oscrellia Clownfish (probally spelled that wrong.. but yea.) And if not 2 could it at least house 1 with some other kind of small fish and if so which? Also which inverts should i use? I have 2 blue-legged hemits now... so... Yea thanks in advance.- Brandon, New Aquaitist.

 

Hi Brandon,
Light is not of an issue to you and your tank since you plan on not maintaining corals!
Plenty of light for you, I would just be nervous and hessitant about the sunlight hitting your tank. This will elavate the tank temperature of your water plus algae growth could plague your tank as well in my opinion!
Unless you have a known pair of Clowns, I would refrain due to their aggressive behavior, especially in a small aquarium like a 10gallon!
If you wanted to get a single clown and another small fish or two, that should work nicely for you!
Good luck!

 

Well this plan went down.. sorry lol. G/f called and said she doesn't want a sw tank no more.. she now wants fresh water so she can have a kissing fish.. so now I just have to get my 55g upgraded into my sw. But thanks <3.
