For a marine biologist to say get some anemones for them leads me to believe there isnt truth behind that. Anemones shouldnt be kept in a new system they may thriove in the wild but not very well in captivity. You should by no means get an anemone yet. They have high lighting demands and are by no means hardy inverts. Clownfish do NOT need an anemone to thrive in a home aquarium. I have a clownfish and a carpet anemone and my clownfish has never once even attempted to host the anemone. If i were you i would stray off the clownfish and try keeping green chromis. Much hardier fish and they are perfect to someone new to the hobby. Keep 3 green chromis alive for 2-3 months then add your clownfish. Green chromis are like 5 bucks and any good store will be more than happy to take them back once your tank cycled and is ready for the clowns.
just make sure its cycled..then ur good to go.
Clownfish coat themselves in a thick mucas membrane and because of this are very very tough fish, they are the goldfish of tropical tanks. You are fine to put your fish in now but don't worry too much about water quality if you only have clownfish.
Get some anemones it makes them very happy.
When you get salinity perfect thats a start. NH3, NO2 and NO3 is zero in a brand new setup, it's now ready for cycling.
If you wish to use a clownfish to cycle the tank, then you can put him in. Do read up on cycling of marine tank.
