A friend has this tank and needs to get rid of it.
He has had it for 10 weeks.
It is a 34lt tank, SW, LR, Filter and lighting.
It has 4 small soft corals and ( this is the bad bit ) 2 baby clownfish.
Now the tank is way to small for the fish, but would fit nicely in the dinning room.
I was thinking of just keeping some corals and a shrimp in the tank.
But now, what to do with the clowns?
I Know I would need to get another tank for the clowns 80-100lt and cycle it.
I am really tempted to get this tank as he is only asking $50 for it, the LR and corals would cost that.
It would take me 4 weeks to have the 80-100lt tank up, running and cycled.
Would the clowns be ok for the 4 weeks?

If the clowns are still nice and small, then I'd say yes. Most clowns need about 20 or 30 gallons or so to be happy but that assumes full size. That would be 76-113 liters so you're looking at the right range. But for a month or so, I don't see a problem in keeping them in the nano until you get the bigger one setup.

agreed

Ok, got the tank.
The 325lt tank that was going to be a seahorse tank is now going to be a reef.
So once its up and running the clowns will go in there.

Good job on the new tank. I'm jealous on that tank size. That so opens up the possibilities on what else you can add.

Update on the tank,
The clowns are well and happy, till I put my hand in the tank to do some cleaning, then they attack. LOL.
Got 2 peppermint shrimps and the aptisia has gone.
Doing a 10% WC every 2 days, water readings are great amm-0, nitrites-0, nitrates under 5, SG 1.024 and temp 26c.
The temp has been a little high lately due to how hot it has been over here, we had some days 36-39c, but with the air con and fans going the tanks never went over 26.5.

clowns are always first to attack , people who dive tell me the most aggresive fish they come across on there dives are clowns and always attack there masks lol ,,, fiesty lil fish but totally loveable ....
