I was thinking of getting a small tank just to keep some clown fish. I want a simple setup. Can anybody suggest the equipments needed ?

Basic

-Tank

-Skimmer

-Light (FL/PL will do)

-Filtration

-Liverocks

think that should be all..cheers!

Thanks Jem.

Is skimmer necessary ? having a pump inside that small tank could generate heat and taking space ?

any suggestion for filtering equipment - brand and prices ?

You can chosse those air driven skimmer that comes with the sandlewood. Cheap.Only thing is that you have to keep changing the sandlewood when it starts to wear away.But you don't hv to worry abt heating up the tank.

I started off with the AA brand one for my 1 footer fowlr tank. Cost less than $10. Of course got better ones out there..

Depending on the size of your tank. You can use a canister filter or those hang on type. But you have to do regular water changes .Must also moniter salinity as smaller tanks tend to evaporate faster.

I saw a nano tank at wakai. It is a 2ft ISO tank with coral and clown fish but no skimmer. Maybe you may want to got there to have a look at their tank. And ask edwin for tips.
