I want to get a tank for me and my son. I'm looking at the biocubes to start but dont know if that is a good choice. I want to keep it small to start but i would just like some input on what to get. We would like the tank to be about 10 to 20 gallons and we want to get just some clown fish to start out something that he will recognize. Would that size tank work good for those fish and could I have 2 in there along with some cleaner fish. Just let me know what ya'll think.

HELLO and welcome to swf....In my opinion I would go for 20-24g....This way you could keep 2 clowns, and maybe 1-2 small fish with them.
There is a great section here on nano tanks....you might want to look there and see what people have done with the smaller tanks

i'd also go with a 20g..the bigger the better...easier to manage....with that size tank, the clowns will do great with some type of goby maybe...i wouldn't do any type of cleaner fish..they usually need lots of live rock and algea to graze on which a small nano tank cannot provide...
