Could I keep 2 clown fish and a bubble tip in a 14 gal bio cube? With the stock lights?
 
Probably not long term, I would worry more about the BTA (under the stock crappy lighting) than the clowns.
 
i have a jbj 24g nano with the stock PC lights and i have a pair of latz and 2 gbta's in there for a few months and they are fine. my nem actually split when it was 6" and now i got 2 6" nems in the tank. i tend to run my lights longer in this tank and also cooler around 74F.

If you supplement in more lighting you would be fine. I replaced my filter for a BC skimmer, added a EcoXotic panorama 50/50 strip, and subbed the white for another actinic...1 gbta is LOVING it, got a pair of onyx, sebae, and a true...
