Every body says you need the proper lights for an BTA.
Add a clean up crew to your list.

You cannot ordeer the tank and fish at the same time. You have to cycle the tank first. (4-6 weeks)

Not necessary but a great thing to have.

The yellow tang will definitely not work. I would not plan to put ANY tang in a 24 gallon tank. Tangs need a lot of swimming room, something a small tank cannot offer.

Take everything off your list except the tank, LS, and the LR and youll be doing great. Unless you enjoy killing things and waisting money. I would do some serious research before you purchase anything. JMO

What's wrong with the BTA and Clownfish? :notsure:

Nothing is wrong with them, but you have to cycle your tank first. Most clown's are hearty (spelling*) fish but I would wait about 3-4 weeks before adding any livestock. And as for a anenome I would wait another month after that to make sure all the bio- levels in the tank are at a nominal level. Bio levels are your nitrate, amonia, ph, salinity, and nitrate. Also check for your calcium and Alkalinity levels before adding a anenome. These creatures are very picky when it comes to water quality, except for the bad species like Aiptasia.

On a Nano you could get away with Power Compact lighting 150 watts would be the best it puts you at about 6.2 watts p/gallon. Look on the auction site you can find them pretty cheap there. But you deffinatly need to cycle your tank first , I would acctually wait a minimum of 8 - 10 months before adding the BTA. the perculas you could probably add in a month

Are you guys sure that I can only have a BTA and Clownfish in a 25 Gallon Aquarium?
Here is what someone else did with the 25 Gallon Nano Cube.

Someone asked on the ratios for crew... 1 crab (or hermit) per 5 gallons... and I'd guess the same would go for the snails...

1 snail every 5 gallons and 1 snail every 2 gallons ..... also notice theres only 1 clown fish in that cube ... you can have as many corals as you want once your tank matures

oops i mean 1 crab / 5 gallons .... and make sure to keep plenty of free shells around or your snails will start dissappearing due to your crabs needs
