if you are refering about when he started the thread, maybe it means he finally got some fish or something. 'just set-up' means a lot of things to everybody. you never know.
BTW, nice tank. you should get a backround. will make it look tons better. good luck

PS- if you want to stop the bubbles on your powerhead, take out the ventri valve and make sure the powerhead is completely under water.

the clowns look great
i wouldnt put an anemone in because of the insufficient lighting
but you could put in a torch coral that looks like one or a frogspawn which the clowns might also host

how many watts do anemone's need? 65+65 is 130watts in a 20 gallons...130w/20g is 6.5 watts per gallon...

yeah metal halides are needed for anemones, clams and hard corals(SPS)
but look at this websites torch coral it looks a lot like an anemone and would be ok with your light

i strongly disagree. i have kept both a bubble tip anemone and a squamasa clam under PC's. they did great but then i sold them when i upgraded. just make sure they are as high as you can get them. i would not advise get a anemone because they move around, and could harm your corals if it does. it is just a pain.
PS- i had 3.4 watts of PC in my old tank and now i will soon get a squamasa for my new tank.

Your tank looks great. Be real carful and take your time. Each time you add new rock if there is any dead stuff on it your tank has to adjust to the new bio-load. Would hate to see you get an ammonia spike that might kill those beautiful fish. Your clowns may use a torch or some frogspawn as a host. Please read up on anemone's, everything you can get you hands on, and decide if you relly want to risk putting one in your tank. Start reading here.
