If you want a clown host anemone then you need alot of light. If you just
want an anemone but not a clown host I have used condylactis(sp?)
anemones(atlantic) because they dont need high light levels. I keet 2 clowns
and a condylactis in a 10 gallon with a live sand bed and 10 lbs of live
rock,a penguin 170 biowheel filter, and a standard flourescent hood without
problems.The condylactis can eat the clown although I have never had that
problem as the clowns stay far away from it.Due to the fact that sal****er
caused me alot of problems and money on my 125 it is now freshwater oscar
tank but the 10 gallon is nice and easy to keep.

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.
