So as some of you may know...I already have a tank, a 55G to be exact. I love it but honestly I don’t have the time and energy to take care of it. Carrying 5 gallon buckets weekly in northern weather isn’t fun. I am looking to downsize so I don’t have to completely leave the saltwater hobby, but yet something smaller and easier for me to maintain. Right now out of all of my stock I would like to keep: pair of clowns, 2 tube anemones, and a few corals I have growing(~3, no idea what the names are).

Would it be absolutely outrageous if I were to use a fluval 5g?

Thanks
Kas
 
My husband and I had the fluval 13.5 tank and it was a good tank with some mods done to it. Depending on the corals you plan to keep you would need to upgrade the lighting. We even added a nano powerhead for more flow. I would not get the 5gallon if you plan on keeping the clownfish in there.
