:rolleyes: **** why didnt I think "clowns" when I read "clones"???
:confused:
Let's review...
A ten gallon tank with three big anemones, two clownfish, a gramma, 50x turn over, plus a wet/dry filter and a skimmer capable of handling a 500 gallon tank?
Am I reading this correctly??? :confused: :confused:

add LR/LS, 2 PH's, good to go

I was thinking the same thing - this sounds more like a flow tank for testing boat hull designs than an aquarium... especially if there is really that much hardware on a $10 glass box - what would a 20L or 29g tank add to the the cost ? A pretty small % of the filtration or livestock cost IMO...
Not to mention the lighting needs of the anemones (I didn't even see lighting mentioned...)
Of course we could all be misinterpreting some of the original post - maybe clones are generic computers ? And those 3 filters would constitute 3 amenities in my book... and one shrimp and one gramma are exactly what I would put in a 10g marine tank (along with liverock and sand of course)...

I've kept one clone in a 10G for a while, works decent.
