Hi Guys,
I have been keeping tropical fish for a while now and i am looking into getting started with some marine fish.
There are currently two tanks i am looking at purchasing, either a Biorb 60l (16 US Gallons) with the marine conversion kit, or an Orca tank with the same volume. The tank will contain live rock.
I have thought about what fish/inverts i would like in the tank,

1 x Cardinalfish
2 x Clown Fish
2 x Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp

... and maybe some coral if room permits?

I am unsure of what type of rules to follow regarding stocking for a marine tank.
Does this setup seem ok to handle that quantitiy of fish?

Thanks,

Ant
 
Fraid not.

IMO 16G is too small for a single clown, let alone a pair.

Forget the bio-orb idea, they are a horrible idea for a marine tank.
 
Thanks for the swift reply.
Do you have any suggestions for a marine tank that would be capable of housing the fish?
 
Look into 24gallon cube type tanks. They're popular and readily available.
