Clowns are perfectly fine with no anemone host....... FWIW

Also, don't get clowns if you aren't going to have an anemone for it. And
you can't have an anemone under low light. You would need at least
80-96Watts (perferably metal halide)

Alright, I'm wanting to start a 10gal. nano reef. I've been doing


research


on this
for the last few days, and I went and looked around at stores this
afternoon. All the stores I went to had different opinions about what I
need and how to go about doing this right.

Basically I figured I want a few easy to keep corals. The frags I saw I
liked were green frogspawn and some assorted zooanthids, and some green
polyps.

The fish I want are a mated pair of false percula clowns and a tiger
jawfish.

Everything in the tank will be:
- 2 clowns
- 1 jawfish
- 3" DSB (carib sea aragonite premium reef floor)
- plenum (plans at garf)
- the corals mentioned above
- 16 pounds of LR (cured Fiji I believe)
- a powerhead to stir the water (Any advice on this?)
- a 50W submersible heater (I haven't found an ebo jager around here. I
see people seem to like those best, any other good ones?)
- The lights will be two deluxe 2X13w brightkits from ahsupply.com one


set


actinic the other 10000k white bulbs. I will put these on two timers to
simulate dawn/dusk
- Clean up crew. (Not sure on this either. Suggestions?)

and that should be it.
Anything I forgot?

Comments on extra equipment I could use?

Is this combination possible?

Thanks for your help. -Chris
