New to hobby- couple questions before tank setup

[babybearhiggins]

I’m completely new to the hobby so please pardon me if I come across as ignorant. I have a couple of questions hopefully someone can help.
I’m setting up a 32 gallon BioCube for a couple clownfish and want to create a NSA aquascape with Marco rock. It says (as I’m sure enthusiasts know) not to build the aquascape too high in the tank bc the coral will grow, but does the BioCube offer the proper lighting for that type of environment? Or am I overthinking everything? Also, will I be able to keep an anemone in this tank… eventually (provided I don’t mess it up!)

Thanks to anyone willing to provide info!

You should be just fine. Just don't build above the top 1/3 of the tank. If you are using all sterile rock, I would wait about a year before adding a nem, to ensure system stability.

Happy reefing.

Please take a look at @kevgib67 build thread and you can see what can be accomplished in this tank.
Probably one of the finest and most beautiful tanks on all of R2R.
Kevin will gladly answer any and all of your questions.
Welcome Welcome to R2R and good luck!

waiting for quite some time for the anemone will be the hardest part.
