What size tank should I get?

[kaiservonhugal]

Smaller is better. I have a 40 gallon planted freshwater tank (Amazon Basin set up) and I have space for a another tank in the same room. Ill be limited to nothing larger than a 29 gallon though Id prefer smaller if I can get away with it.

Id like to be able fit in the following:

1 Bubble tip Anemone
2 Clown Fish
2 Scarlet Hermit Crabs
1 Blue legged Hermit Crab
3 Astraea Snails
1 Tiger Snapping Shrimp
2 Yellow Shrimp Goby
Clove Polyps
Xenia Colonies

the only thing I will say, is bigger is better! Chemical/element/Ph swings happen much slower in a larger body of water. That and if you get a 10 gallon setup, you will be looking for more space in 10 minutes

What about a Nuvo mini38 its about 19.67"x19"x19". I've been looking at them for an office tank

You can fit all that in almost every cube they sell with PC lights.
Look at JBJ, I believe they come with a built in wave maker.

My dad just got a 14gal nano cube, and they have potential. You can make it look really nice. Your anemonie might get a little big for a small tank.

I really like the Nuvo's! But... they are too long (24 inches wide) for the space I have available. The JBJ makes a 24 gallon that 18 inches wide. I like their dimensions much better but overall, I dont think Id be happy with the lid and lights. Are there lights or lids I could use to replace the JBJ lid?

You can get the tank only in the Mini 38, dimensions are almost a 19" cube so it fits the 24" space
