Is 3.5 gallon per chamber enough, do you think?

I’ve been thinking about doing something like this but just can’t seem to settle on the dimensions. I was thinking 7-10 gallons each x 4 chambers

I didn’t think it is enough but I talked to breeders and they said the clowns stay in the pots and fan eggs. They don’t swim around so it ends up being enough. I didn’t believe it at first but they were right!

Sooooo nicely done.. that locline looks lovely. DId you build it yourself? What type of cover/ top will you use?

Havent figures out what light or cover.... I may build a screen top most likely. The tank was built by a local shop. But I did the sump, sump baffles, plumbing, and stand all DIY style

Ok, cool. I might get 6 bays after all
