What do I need for .......

[karl]

My son has a 29, what equiptment do I need if I only want a breeding pair of clownfish and a anemone, sand live rock, shrimp and gobie ?

I have a 29g w/20g tall refugium a pr of clowns, watchman & tiger shrimp and flame hawk(I has a little 6-line wrasse that I lost after 2 years). They all got along great! I had a HOB skimmer for 2-3 years moved it to a different tank. For the last 3 years I have taken care of it with weekly water changes and a fug full of chaeto, bag half full of carbon/gfo. I have a 20l pipe fish/soft coral tank that I do the same way except I have a simple filter I put carbon in or just plane filter media. These tanks do not run as clean as the ones with skinners. I have t-5s on the 29g because I have corals that need better lighting and CF on the pipefish and Xenia, recordia tank.

Equipment for a 29g is very basic. However, this could all change with the concept of a "breeding pair of clownfish". Do you intend to breed and raise the young? Equipment requirements will change considerably.

Knowledge.

If you're asking what is required to keep the animals, then you need to spend some time researching their requisite husbandry.

id say at a minimum if u dont want to drill it, a canister filter,hang on skimmer,heater,
a decent light and timer,and wait for quite awhile before you get the anemone.

Edit: water test kit too of course
