Now that my life has slowed back down from my move I have some time to work on another tank and for some reason today I got the idea to take my 20 talland put a pair of clowns and anemone in it. Maybe a few softy corals and a cleaner shrimp.
Is a 20 to small for clowns and an anemone?
I’m looking to keep the tank low maintainence as possible.
Would a AI prime be enough lighting?
 
20g should be fine for most species of clowns although I would suggest at least a 30g for Maroons. Also, you may want to wait on the anemone and let the tank balance out and mature for a bit. Good luck!
 
Wyoming whites are always beautiful and mocha Vincis are stunning

My tank is 20g, I have 2 onyx percula clowns, a cleaner shrimp, bubble tip nem, 2 emerald crabs, and a scooter blenny! All are super happy and my tank is super low mantinence I can go like 2 weeks without 20% water change easilly. I have lps one sps and softies.
I waited 6 months for an anemone.
 
If you stick with either Percula or Ocellaris, you should be fine. Others such as the previously mentioned Maroon, and Saddleback get a bit big and will need a larger tank.

Anemones that stay relatively small, such as a BTA or malu should be fine.
