Question
Hi John,
I have a 20 gallon (US) aquarium that I have been using for a freshwater tropical tank. A couple of my clown loaches were getting a little too large for this tank and so I have upgraded the whole community to a 75 gallon tank.
That now leaves me with an empty 20 gallon. I thought I might set up a small saltwater tank (I am hoping that the size of the tank, although small, will allow me to do this). I have 2 'hook on' filter systems to this tank.
I am thinking about a fish only tank. Something really small as an introduction. Can you provide me with a link or some advice on how to set up a salt water system... an also some advice on which fish would suit such a small set up?
Thanks.
Alex.

Answer
I would suggest a trio of ocealarris clown fish. They a cute, and can manage in that size tank. Make sure that you have 10x flow in that tank. This could come out to 200 gallons per hour.

You asked for a link, so here is a link to a good site about nano reefs, which is what yours would be classified as.
