This would be a good way for cheap lighting.. haha I would use glass at an angle to reflect as much sunlight as possible into the pool and then youd have the ultime lighting, sunlight! Then of course i would go snorkeling in it everyday..

Wow! Snorkeling in your own reef would be awesome! I don't think I can afford the skimmer I'd need though. LOL.

Haha well jasons is rated up to what something like 4000 gallons? So a couple of those and your good! I remember i read a thread about some guy whos job was to pick livestock and coral and watch over this guys tank in france and it was so huge they would snorkel or something in it. That would be amazing.
Simulation: Wake up and its snowing outside, its the middle of december but hey no worries you can just go snorkeling on a beautiful reef in your living room!

29-30 g tanks for the smaller clowns but at least 55g for the bigger species. Realistically you would need something long the lines of a pool sized tank for all the different species to establish their own territory and and all that

LOL.. kinda got me wondering as well... lets see... a ton of dry largo rock... a truckload of Oolitic sand.... a solar housing for the pool (I bet with enough sandbags, you could do this in an above ground pool!)
The possibilities

To keep more than 1 type of clown you will need a huge tank. The reason I state that is different clowns don't get along. A gsm will fight a percula to the death. So mainly it will need to be till the point that each clown type will have its only location to in-habit. Also a large enough area if a clown wonders into another space that it can seek refuge where it can be attacked and not be stressed.
