    You wont be able to have anemones for a while. Not until your tank is matured and the water quality high and stable.

    There is also no chance that your clowns will house an anemone. I have two Bubble Tip Anemones in my 55g and my clowns haven't even gone near them.

    Gonna be a few months for a few beginner corals like mushrooms, xenia, hammer/torch coral, then a few months for other LPS, acans favia, then around the year mark, maybe an anemone, But you'll have to drop some money on lights, filtration, and good test kits before you get to that point. This hobby is best the slower you go. Rushing things only kills stuff and costs you alot more money;)

    Theres a decent chance an anemone will host a clown, but not a guarantee, just make sure you get the right type of anemone. But ya have a year to research that;)

    Edit, saw your correction, sorry;)

    on a side note you can actually but a picture of a clown hosting a new on the tank glass next to the nem and the clown might just host that way. I did that with mine and he has hosted a frog spawn ever since.

    Just to follow up, most say minimum of having the tank cycled 6 months before adding an anemone.

    So, I have been testing my tank everyday and my ammonia is at .25 ppm what do I need to do to get that down? And there is brown stuff on my sand and rocks should I be doing something about it, is there anything I can do about it? It's a little ugly....
