You could also look for a small GBTA. I have one in my 6 gallon Fluval Edge and my clowns love it.

I also have a frogspawn for the Sexy Shrimps to keep everyone happy.

Anemones need strong light and in a nano that means evaporation so unless you can top off manually twice a day you will need an Auto Top Off solution to go with the big light.

good answers so far. You dont need a skimmer if your doing regular WC. As for the nem I wouldnt recommend one in such a small tank. They get big and a clown may or may not host in one. You also need to have a mature tank and strong light to keep one alive (takes a minimum of 6 months).
If you like the flowieness of a nem then look for another coral that does better in small systems and can be fragged easily to keep it in check. Maybe a torch?

Thanks for all the help everyone.
When I said Anemone I ment I wanted Frog Spawn and All the low light small stuff. I plan to get a Skimmer now and a power head for the tank.
Thanks for all the replies.

GBTA = Green Bubble Tip Anemone
Frogspawn is a Euphyllia.
Others that fall into the Euphyllia family are:
Hammer and Torch coral.

No worries about the freshwater thing. I too am into freshwater and have been since I was 13... wow thats 14 years ago LMAO.
I just started the saltwater craze but it was with about 2 years of research (on and off of course). Im starting my first salty tank and its been up for a while now but im not considering the cycle started until I get LR (Live Rock) to seed my system.

I am in the same boat. It is confusing but so interesting compared to freshwater. I thought plants would be the end of it but then I saw corals.
