First tank

[Peli45]

I think I am going to be doing a 15 gallon IM cube AIO cause I am broke and have a lack of space. Hope to put 2 clowns in, unless advised against it. Light will be AI prime 16 and heater is undetermined. If any of this seems off, please tell me a better alternative. Thanks!

Sounds good! Enjoy your first tank! If you get bit by the saltwater bug, you’ll end up more broke and with a tank 10x that size, like I did. Haha.

That's funny, I am coming to the saltwater side from freshwater.

One clown should be okay if one of the smaller types, two might be pushing the envelope a bit though in my opinion. I am sure many have done it before and gotten away with it but that doesnt mean its a good idea. They dont require a lot of room to swim in like a Tang would, but thats starting to be a lot of fish (full grown) for a small water capacity bio-load wise. JMHO...

Welcome
Two clowns will be fine. One will go female and then it settles. A controller for heater def good cheap insurance.

Good luck to you, and budgets for tanks drop off with time… don’t worry

I have 2 CB ocellaris in my 15 WB and 3-4 small gobies (red headed etc)

bought the clowns small 6-6 months back and sure they have another year or so before they get too large
