    sure just keep up on water changes and dont add alot more to the tank and it should be just fine

    its fine, just change the water regularly and don’t crowd the water with fake plants and boats :)

    The tank is too small for a clown as an adult. It’s just over 11 gallons for the non-metric users, and the smallest clown species (ocellaris or perculas) should have at least a 75 liter. Larger clowns like maroons, clarks, should have 120 liters or more. Sadly, the nano cubes aren’t really a good size for a marine tank, considering how much they cost.

    Your tank would be more appropriate for a clown goby or a firefish, but not any other fish. You could set this up as a nice invert tank with some hermit crabs, snails, shrimp, feather duster, and just one of the fish mentioned above.
