    I dont know if id try either, i think the clams would suffer big time from the lack of light, you could probably keep both if you had them high up...but me, id never chance it, esp bc they both require prestine water and you will be occupied with school

    Did you notice you have only 3's for karma? Lol

    And yeah, your right, I guess I'll just choose easy corals and fish for this tank. I can get a bigger light if I need to.

    What about clowns? What's the bare minimum for a pair?

    You should have seen the my 12g, 2 clowns is fine in a 12-14g tank. Just get small ones as said and maybe a cleaner shrimp. You could get by with some easier sps corals with the good PC lighting on a bio cube. Read Plating corals, some basic stags etc.

    I don't know about anemones or clams so i gusse some one else will have to answer on that but there is a guy on YouTube that has 2 ture perc clowns in a 10g with a anemone for over 3 years now. But if i was going to guess he has all of 4-5lbs of small pieces of live rock and a few frags so the fish have lots of swimming room.
