if this is your first tank, i would suggest saving more money and get the biggest one you can afford. reason being is that if something goes wrong, it happens alot faster in a smaller tank than a bigger one. plus once you get into saltwater, you'll want to keep more. haha. so its' better to do all your research and be patient. =)
toodles is right. clownfish don't need anemone. plus anemone are very sensative to the water quality and they do produce quite a bit of waste for a coral.
cycling of the tank varies. you should buy a test kit and test your tank until all the parameters are correct.
hope that helps!
