BTA - Tank Size Suggestions

I am looking to setup a tank in my daughters room with only BTA's and a clown or two. The question is, what size tank is necessary? I definitely want an AIO setup. Any suggestions/lessons learned would be appreciated.
 
A healthy BTA should get at least 8 inches wide, so I would recommend a 20g for both waste management and room to move. BTAs get at least 8 inches, but some may get easily over 14 inches.
 
Yes a 20 gallon tank would probably be the minimum. I have a large RBTA (12 inches) in a 29 gallon biocube. They reach out for as much space as they can.
 
and don't use a powerhead, unless you want to turn that nano into an anemone blender. You can upgrade the return pump and locktite to give better flow.
 
I would suggest you get the Elos Mini or Midi for her. A Mini system with just BTA and a pair of clowns would be awesome!
