    So my dad was watching my setup an friends reef tank and watching my freshwater tank over the past year and decided he wanted a small tank for his office, i have a 10 gallon laying in my room no use for it, so i was wondering do you think i can do about 10pounds of live sand and sum live rock and as far as fish he wanted to do a pair of clowns and Carpet anemone, is the tank to small or think it will be ok, i know clowns normally like 20+ gallons, just a idea he had.

    i think you can do 1 clown but 2 will be pushing it. ( unless you have a real good filtration you might get away with 2)

    you can always choose different fish, like a firefish, and maybe a goby, and a cleaner shrimp. I would forget about the anemone, because they need the tank to be established at least a year before adding it. ( im not sure whether the tank it self would be to small).
