Welcome to the salty side and the community! Innovative Marine makes great tanks. You can't go wrong with those. As other have mentioned it's best to hold off on an anemone until your tank has matured some. This is especially true if you're new to saltwater and haven't gone through the ups and downs of getting a saltwater tank stabilised. It's a whole new learning curve compared to freshwater. My first tank is only 2-1/2 years old and I'm just starting to see stability. Best piece of advice is to go slow and be patient. Rushing things in this hobby (mea ING saltwater) never ends well if you're new.

Hi Josh and Welcome! Glad you joined. It sounds like a good plan, but keep in mind CUC needs something to 'cleanup' and/or eat, otherwise they might die off (but maybe you plan to supplimental feed them OR you plan delay in adding them). There are so many paths forward in this hobby but clowns with an anemone are heartwarming - LOVE IT!!
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It is never too early.
This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...
