    Questions about my 10g.

    I have a few questions about the 10g I have set-up. 1. Can I have 1 or 2 small true/false percula clownfish? 2. I have 2 25w bulbs that came with the tank, are these enough to keep SPS frags (tank is a normal 10g). I have roughly 10-15lbs of LR and about 10lbs of sand.
