240 gph is fine for the clown. Why do you want to get rid of it?

Awesome tank man, I have a little 5g but it has a screw in compact flourescent, modded hob filter, no skimmer, and houses a Rods eating Mandarin, hes been in there for months and loves it. Lots of live rock and lots of sand. Great pics!
