I would just start with the live rock and live sand with a couple of damsels and let your tank cycle for 6 weeks or so before you spend your money on the clowns and annenomie. Make sure you use R/O water from your lfs it will help the cycle go better. You might also want to take out the bio balls and replace it with some live rock chunks, it will help cycle quicker.
Temp around- 74 to 76
Calcium at 450
Salinity at 1.021 to 1.023

DO NOT use any fish while cycling.....use a raw shrimp or ghost feed the tank until it cylces. Or just let the tank naturally cycle...an anemone is pretty much out of the question on a tank that size.....just remember clowns don't need an anemone and they will host just about anything in your tank if it wants to
