Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. New Frag Tank

  3. Want to Get Anemone

    I have been holding off on getting corals because I want an anemone to find a spot so it doesn't kill any coral. I have two clarkii clown fish and the female is probably 4-5 inches long. That means that I am going to need a big anemone, the only problem is I don't have money for a big one. I don't mind much on what kind of anemone I get as long as it is not brown and has a bright color. I was thinking about buying a small anemone and growing it out in my refugium.
