just a quick question. for a new tank, is it best to get the clown & the anenome at the same time or can i get the clown beforehand?
reason being, because i'm gonna need to save $$$ to get the lighting required for the anenome. BUT i'd actually prefer to get the clown before, if possible.

You can get the clownfish first. In fact clownfish do not have to have an anemone at all. So you can add the anemone anytime after that if at all.

One more thing, it is best to wait until at least 6 months after your cycle to add something like an anemone. This gives the tank a chance to stabalize and for the sandbed (if thats what you have) a chance to mature. At least 6 months, more is better in my opinion.
