Equipment list for a 25g nano

Well first off, Ive got a 25g tank. I have kept freshwater for a long time and now its time to move on.

This is what I know. I want to get a yellow tang, maybe a 2 clowns, a cleaner shrimp, an anemone, and maybe a couple of turbo snails. I would like to get some nice algae growth happening..

I have a floresent canopy, which I need to pick up a bulb for.

Here is the equipment I have picked out.

Skilter filter 250
Some live rock
Ebo jager 100w heater
chushed coral for substrate
and a marineland 550 powerhead.

My questions are:
1. What type of bulb do I need to keep an anemone?
2. Is the equipment ok for the type of set up I want?

I would appreciate all the suggestions and info you have.
THANKS.

head warning, anemone are VERY hard to keep alive < requires high lighting and good current >. heres a site for help http://www.nano-reef.com/index.html.

why not go with 2 or 3 smaller powerheads making different patterns of currents, that would be more life like and preferly by the corals etc. Yellow tangs get big so i would say no unless you're thinking of getting a bigger tank sometime soon.  25gal tank would keep at MOST! 3 small-smallaverage fishes. Flouresent lights aren't strong enough for reef unless you're planning to just keep fish. Also you'd need a hydrometer, test kits etc,. Other than that, go on and read about that site it helps a lot! good luck!

I wouldn't advise placing a yellow tang in a 25 gallon.  It's just too small for a yellow tang.

Also, anenomes do require a larger space also and frequent feeding.  Anenomes do much better with Metal Halide lighting from experience.  Others have said that anenomes only require feeding but in a tank setting, lighting is just as important.

A couple of power heads sounds cool.  But will a clown do ok without its anenome? I dont really want to spring for metal halides right yet.  So if I forget the tang, what other fish would work well with a clown? Any suggestions??

Thanks guys for your replys

A clown can do quite well without an anenome.  Have the tank up and mature for a few months if you have to have to anenome.  This way the water is stable and the chances of your anenome surviving is much higher.  
Make sure you do research on the anenome and find one that is a host anenome for the clown.

So an anenome could live once a tank is well stabilized under a uv light??  And the equipment list, does it sound ok??
Thanks for your help again...

The equipment list sounds O.K. but I think the Skilter is a poor skimmer.  If you use this and want to keep an anenome, you have to do at least biweekly water changes.

A 25 gallon has no room for error.  A small spike in ammonia/nitrites could definitely kill the anenome fairly quickly.  Also, the anenome needs a lot of room to roam around and could eventually grow to big too fast and could kill whatever is in it's path.

I suggest you read up more about anenomes before purchasing one.  There are different types of anenomes and I can't give you all the info because it's too generalized.

Thanks Dattack, greatly appreciated...I really need to read up some more. Saltwater tanks just look so cool.  I know a 25 is small.  Sould I be looking at a hang on skimmer instead?

This sounds really risky for a 25g. Im getting kind of turned of from the idea. I would hate to spend so much time and effort in a small tank to have everything killed just from a quick little spike which is a huge change in a small water volume..
