I think you could do two clowns in a 25 gallon without any problems. I have two clowns and a blenny in my 28 gallon, with a BTA and a lot of soft corals. No problems. I'd say I am at the absolute limit, though, and I also do a 10% water change every week. I also have an excellent skimmer (which you'll need) and a small refugium where I grow seaweed for nutrient export.

I agree.
Depending on filtration, you could have 2 clowns, a BTA, and another small fish in there.
When I had my 20 gallon up, I had a Clownfish, Six-Line Wrasse, Firefish, and a Clown Goby.
Never had any problems.

I guess I wasn't very clear with that last question, so let me re-word it: If I wanted to keep a yellow tang, a BTA, and two clownfish, what size tank would I need?

minimum 90 gallon, you could have about 4-6 smaller fish and the 2 clowns and yellow tang, because the tang needs a big tank, but if you get that big of a tank you will need metal halide lighting to satisfy the BTA

You could put the Yellow Tang in the tank, but he won't be happy.....You might enjoy him there, but think about it this way.....Why not go sit in your car on a scorcing 95 degree day with the window rolled up with no room to move or avoid the sun and we weld your car doors shut!!!!!!!!
FORGET THE TANG FOR HIS AND OUR SAKE!!!!!

I am sorry if you consider this reviving an old thread, but I had to ask.
What is the "tang police"?

It's just us being mean.
This forum is big on Tangs not being in less than a 70-something, haha.
It's like keeping yourself locked up in a small room for your whole life.
