Yet, Another Beginner

[Hardlife91]

Like most posts on this forum i have decided to add my own.
I am a complete n00by to the saltwater side of things but i have had a few freshwater tanks.

I am very interested in keeping a pair of clown fish (small ones).
Does anyone have a link for a complete (step by step) guide to setting a small tank up to hold just a pair of clowns?
I don't want to breed them, i just love the look of them and want to expand my knowledge.

I know they say big tanks are better, however i have limited space but bags of time.

Will someone help me?

Thank you, and sorry to be another n00b needing a world of advice.
Matt

Well depends on your idea of small.. Most people would recommend a minimum tank size of 20g even for the smallest species of clown.

Oh okay its just that i keep seeing all these 10g tanks on youtube with a pair of clowns and fire shrimp etc
Anything similar that i can put in a 10g tank? (preferably a pair).

I know its very difficult to get everything perfect with water changes etc, but i have a lot of time to get it right.

Im looking for something easy-ish to care for with it being my first marine tank.
Price doesn't bother me.

Anyone with any ideas for a 10g pair?

A pair of shrimp gobies with a pistol shrimp would be great in a 10g. It's a symbiotic relationship between the gobies and the shrimp (Shrimp digs the burrow, gobies guard the shrimp), which just makes it cooler to watch IMO.
