There is a lot of information here at AC and you've been given links that will help in setting up your first marine tank. However, you may want to do some research on keeping clownfish and anemones in particular. I think you'll find that :
  • larger tanks than what you have are recommended for most hosting anemones
  • anemones aren't neccessary for keeping clownfish
  • a mature tank is highly recommended and that generally takes 6 months to a year to achieve
  • most hosting anemones will require intense lighting that will increase your initial investment in the tank
It is possible to keep an anemone and clownfish, it just isn't an easy beginner tank.
