Easiest anemone/clownfish pairing?

I'm starting a new 28 gallon marine tank, and I hope after a few more weeks of cycling to add some fish. Ultimately, I hope to have an anemone or two and a couple of clownfish in the tank. As I'm a newcomer to marine tanks, I'd love some advice as to what kind of anemone might be easiest to care for, and what kinds of hardy clownfish might match well with it. I do not have MH lighting, but I have 24" Orbit 2X65W flurescent/actinic setup that provides good--but not MH quality--light. I'm committed to maintaining excellent water quality, and I don't mind some extra effort for feeding, etc.
Any thoughts or suggested threads? Thanks so much.

I think you will be ok with you lighting since you will have around 4.6 watts/gallon. I have 4.1 watts/gallon with my VHO's and I have kept a bubble tip anemone for well over 2 years. I had a tomato clown take up with him for a while. After he died, I got a Clarki clown, and he took up with the anemone very quickly and is very teritorial and defends it. Good luck!
