    is anyone familiar with the biorb tank series? i have a 16 gallon and was considering housing just my two clownfish in this tank. do you think it would be a suitable environment for my clowns? they're currently in a 40 gallon breeder with no one else just a bunch of live rock and I'm really wanting to bring my tank size down. thanks!

    That would be a very cramped area and a lot of waste for a 16 gallon with 2 clowns. I'm sure it would work if you kept up with water changes but I'm not familiar with that type of tank.

    i was going to just use the filter it came with and maybe add a powerhead. do you think this is a bad idea?

    Honestly yes. I believe you'll create more hassel and work for yourself even though you want to downsize.
