Generally rule of thumb is get as big of a tank as you can handle. Just about any size tank can handle a clown fish..but larger tanks are move forgiving for parameters meaning you can make bigger mistakes. But if you are simply looking for what is the smallest tank you can get..look for a 20 gallon all in one.what would a good begginer tank be to start out with?

Because 30 gallons after aquascaping, sand and gap turns out to be maybe 20-25 gallon total volume. Again not much margin for errorsLook for some tanks you like on youtube. Look up various sizes and shapes and find some models that you can use for inspiration. Figure out what those people use for equipment if possible and then you know what it will cost upfront to build that system out. If you can find a 30g you like then why go any bigger?
That's a great tank! I have the older model and I love it. I think the all-in-one tanks are great for beginners because it simplifies the filtration process. You can definitely keep clowns in that tank. I have a couple of clowns, a firefish, a goby and a blenny in mine and they're all super happy and healthy.could something like this work? https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/nuvo-aquarium-fusion-mini-40h-tank-pro-2-aio.html
Eh my first was a 28g nano with tons of rock and even with periods of neglect it did fine. Maybe there is less room for error but I don't really know what that even means and either way I would advocate practicing habits that prevent catastrophic error in the first place to a newer hobbyist. Smaller tanks need less equipment which means less points of failure. An emergency huge water change is a lot more feasible in a small tank and they are much easier and cheaper to maintain especially if you're busy. If the tank crashes I'd rather it be a 30 than a 55. They're easier to break down or move if you're not settled into somewhere you're 100% going to stay at for 10 or 20 years.Because 30 gallons after aquascaping, sand and gap turns out to be maybe 20-25 gallon total volume.
