I want to setup an aquarium like this

[zzyzx]

Hey, bros.

I would like to setup a new salt water aquarium with a clownfish and an anemone. But I was told that the anemone requires high water quality and, if it died, it releases toxin that would kill everything. What is the minimum size of tank in order to keep good water quality to keep the anemone from releasing toxin to ruin my tank?

I can depend on the type of clown fish you want. Not all clown fish will host in all anemones. Tank sizes would range from around 50 gallons to 90 gallons depending on the combination

The below thread can help you decide

As you stated, anemones need near prefect water conditions. So what ever you decide, I would recommend taking your time and reseaching first.

I hope this helps

You should also be aware that clowns do not always host in anemones, even when you choose a clown that is known to host to that type, or if they do it can take some time. I bought a pair of clowns that took 3 months to even notice the anemone in my tank. Just a good thing to be aware of if you have your heart absolutely set on a clown hosting in an anemone... as far as I know the only guaranteed way to make this happen is to buy a clown and an anemone together if your LFS is selling one that is already hosting.

Looks like you're sorted for advice but neither of them said this . . . Welcome to the AC

If you run Carbon in your system 24-7 you will not have an issue with any toxins in the water released by anyone. And not only do they need Prestine water conditions, most need very high lighting to thrive.
