30 Gallon Oceanic Cube for Pair of Akinydos

[Reefvette]

I wanted to know if you guys think this is too small.

It will be a species only tank with live rock and sand from a preexisting tank.

its 30 gallon cube its 20.5 Long 18.5 wide and 21 inches high.

I will have about 10 -20 pounds of rock with two RBTA's. and the pair of clowns and some hermits and smails and zoa frags.

Also it will have a 150 Watt MH

I think they will be fine, provided with good water quality.

They are not hyper clowns and should settle just fine.

Breeding them, though, is a whole different story

I have a 30 cube ...and had a good amount of livestock in it ...Now it is home to 1 Clown + RBTA and a clown goby .. I have mine plumbed in to a much larger system ..I would say go with as large a sump as possible in this situation to increase volume.

I just called a aquarium maker to see if they could make me a 24 by 24 by 12 square tank. This tank works out to 29 gallons but it gives me a alot bigger surface area and more room for the clowns to roam.

I will probabyl go with a 150 MH over the tank with two actinics

As for the stand i dont think anyone makes one. So its DYI or two Iron Stands

If that is two much then i will look into the ocean cube.

A 24x24 base is not that uncommon a size. I know that here in SoCal there are several LFSs that keep that sized stand in stock.
