Clowns don't need a aneome. I got my CUC before I added any fish.

You need a very mature system for an anemone....like 8 months old at the least.Piggy is right,clowns don't need an anemone and you will need intense light to keep one.Nothing can foul a system faster than a melting anemone.You can add snails now if you are having algae they can feed on.Consider adding some nassarius to stir/scavenge the sand bed when you do add fish.

16 is old enough to get a job. Start huntin'.

Anemones do not do well in tanks that are less than a year old. I say wait 8 months at the minimum. Clowns will be perfectly fine without one. Most clowns have been tank bred for generation after generation and have never seen an anemone in their lives. They do just fine. They couldn't care less.

Take the bus or train?

Geez, what's wrong with you kids these days. Maybe you should start saving up for a car instead of a fish tank? Buy an aircooled beetle or something.
