    I am not sure whether this is the right section to post this or not but anyway. I had my folks over yesterday and the conversation invariably got around to sw tanks. Now they want to set up a biocube but don't have the space for anything much larger than a 14g biocube (I think they do but that's a whole other topic). They only want to keep 2 clowns and an anemone, is that feasible in a 14g or not? I said I doubted it but have no clue when it comes to anemones as I have never kept them before. May be a vague question I realize.

    Thanks.

    I have an anenome that is in a 24g, it's possible to keep one in a smaller tank but much harder, also keep in mind a tank needs to be very matured to support a anenome, usually reccomend a tank being setup a year before you add a BTA

    clown's dont require a anenome btw, they can host in anything and sometimes with an anenome present they still won't host in it, just having the 2 together isnt a gurantee the clown will call it home

    Also keep in mind the footprint of the larger biocubes and nano's isnt much bigger, they pretty much just get slightly taller
