I have a 14 gallon Biocube also and was told that the stock lighting/pc's were not strong enough to support a clam. You can upgrade the lighting to MH's if you want to keep clams.
As for anemone's, I hear so many things. I hear that you must have metal halide's to keep them, and then I hear that you may be fine to keep a bubble tip anemone with the pc's, so I don't know. You can try. I have a bubble tip anemone in mine, and it's been in there for 2 months and so far, it's been doing great. If I see that it is starting to suffer from just the pc's, which it may, I will take it back to the LFS, but for now, it's doing fine. It seems to be happy where it is, has only moved once since being introduced into the tank, and has stayed in the same place since!

I'll take an updated pic this weekend. Since this picture was taken, I've added a frogspawn and xenia up front that really makes a difference in the look of the tank, but here is my tank a few weeks ago.

There is a site out there that sells a lighting upgrade kit to have either 3 pc's with upgraded air flow for about $75 or a 70W MH setup I believe to be around $350 with increased air flow as well. All directions are included and it retains the factory hood. So everything looks exactly stock other than bad a** stuff you can grow.

on my 14 I have a sunpod 150w mh its a little bigger than the tank but it makes it look real good and it was under 300. U lose ur hood and heat can be a problem I took care of it with a fan.
