Just wanted to keep a couple of clown fish and sea aneamies (sp?) does not
need a protein skimmer ?

Even that seemingly straightforward question is not as
easy as it seems. The equipment can be virtually identical
(filter, heater, light) if you're comparing simple fish-only
set ups. On the other hand, if you have a freshwater planted
aquarium, there's a whole bunch of CO2-related equipment
to be added. If you want to do marine reefkeeping, the
equipment needed include the basics plus protein skimmer,
elaborate lighting, sumps, refugiums, etc., etc. hth.
