6 gallon nano cube questions

[roadie996]

I was checking one out on a popular aquarium supplies website and after reading the description I have to question the strength of lighting. It claims 18watts of 50/50 for 3 watts per gallon. Would this be enough for a small anemone, 2 clowns, and a few inverts? If the anemone is placed a mid water level? does anyone have experiance with this tank? how well does it flow?
I'm only considering this tank because I'm having trouble figuring out a good light conversion on my eclipse 3 tank.
thanks for any info back!

Hello first off an anemone can get quite large for that size of tank. They really do much better in bigger systems than what you have. Also they should never be added to a system that is less than 6 months old.
Secondly, the clowns don't need an anemone to be happy. Most of the clowns like percs won't even go near an anemone. But they sure do like things like mushrooms, green star polyps, toadstool leathers which are a much better choice for your type of tank.
I don't have this tank but have talked with others that do and even though its 6 gal with all the filteration stuff in there you really don't get 6 gal of area.
18 watts is just fine for things like I mentioned, mushrooms, green star polyps, some zoas, leathers.
Hope this helps you a bit

I have the 6 gal. Nano Cube, and I'm not sure you would want to put 2 clowns in there. I have a yellow damsel in there now and it's just right for his size. Clowns get bigger. I personally wouldn't put 2 clowns in anything smaller than a 12 gal, but that's JMO.

I LOVE my 6 gal though!!
