i'm thinking of a Orca TL450?
what do you think, just for 2 clowns and some shrimp
maybe some softies in future?
thanks

Yeah its a good tank. I would tell you all its good an bad points but at work on a phone call so dont have long to type Do a search for it though as I have listed its good and bad points on here a few times

Basically nice tank, slightly cheap equipment but over all I would recommend it.

Its debatable if it is ok for a pair of clowns or not as its boarder line too small (I did keep a pair of clowns in there but I wouldnt do it again now). However you can get a couple of fish (if you pick the right ones) a shrimp (or a few shrimp depending on what you pick) and soft corals with no problems.

If you can, why not go for the orca TL550, same tank just a bit bigger, and you can definately get 2 clowns, 2 shrimps and some softies

I got mine and my sisters tanks from fishtanks4u, we got a great service and good price from www.fishtanks4u.co.uk

Just ask for Paul or Mel, Paul is a friendly chap (I didn't speak to Mel), he answers emails (which is a bonus) and is happy to do a deal

we got our tanks + stand and delivery for a total of £255 each

He sells the tanks by themselves I was going to just buy a tank but couldn't find a stand that it would fit on. Both my sister and I are very happy with the tank.
