7 gallon cube

[ste2k3]

I would definatly NOT put an anenomy in a tank that size. the water conditions are just not stable enough. I'd go for a bigger tank and if you look round for second hand equipment, you will do it for the same price.

I helped my neighbor with his first tank, a six gallon (US). It came with all the above listed, but was only $70.00 (US). He has three small Damsels, an arrow crab, snails, and hermits. We will soon be introducing some low light anemony and corals. One of the things that has helped him is that he does his water changes every two weeks with water from my 75 gal. reef. The only issue that we are having trouble over comming is controlling the temp. (Too hot during the day light hours)

You can get a brand new nano cube from foster & smith for $100 and I just wanted to add I've handled anamones tons of times and have never been stung. I've also heard that "nemos" don't really bond with anemones. I do know that the yellow stripe maroon clowns do. At my work we have one who is always playing in the bulb anemones.

Why get a nano cube when a 10g tank is 8 bucks, and you can get the parts that work for you to fit with it?

Just got a 10 gallon tank with a massive double bio-wheel filter in it. I got established sand and water from a reef tank at my lfs. I think i'm going to keep on the 10% water change every week and i'll be very careful about salinity and balance! thanks for the help everyone!

Most tank raised clowns will not go in an anemone, only the wild caught clowns. If you want one that will make its home in an anemone you need to get a wild caught clown.

Wrong. The tank-raised clowns will go into an anemone, just not as readily as wild-caught ones. They usually don't because they sense little threat, and they may never actually do it. They can, though, and they still remember. Mine are a testament to that.

The ones where I work are tank raised

Most are, nowdays.

Wild-caught clowns are still available, but tank-raised ones are generally easier to care for, and live longer and healthier lives.
