14 or 29 Gallon?

I'm looking to set this up as a saltwater aquarium in my dorm room and was looking for a little advice. I'm going to work now but I'll keep updating when I get home. Thanks in advance!

Coralife BioCube PC/LED Fish Tank

For a dorm room I would say 14. That's what I had in my dorm

What kind of stock do you think I'd be looking at for both?

Is the stock filter and tank good enough for corals/nems?

 

[Rfirman]

Mostly just soft corals under the stock lights. Nems, no the tank will be to small and new for that. Trust me I've tried that and it died. Unless you get LEDs to grow other corals that's it.

So softs like mushrooms and a few polyps?

What about fish wise? Could I do a clown and cleanup crew in the 14 or should I go 29 for that?

 

[Rfirman]

Yes stuff like that.

And ya you could do 2 clowns in my opinion but with strict water changes. Once a week
