I've actually got my RSM130 set up as an anemone/clown tank, just haven't found an anemone yet. I ended getting a pair of Clarkii clowns, as they host a very wide variety of anemones, and found a pair going crazy in a BTA at the pet store, so I know they like anemones. Clarkii's get quite black as well.
Your setup sounds really good thus far. I have a MJ1200 for additional flow as well, but would love an MP10. The anemone proof powerhead sounds like a good idea as well. One thing about BTA's though, they can move around a lot sometimes and so any corals are at risk for being killed. Also, they can find their way into overflows easily as well. For this reason, I have decided to stay away from BTA's.
Long tenacle anemones are another option, as they like the sand, so they don't tend to move around as much area. They can, but not as much typically.
I've actually decided to go with a haddoni anemone. They are the smallest of all carpets, require the least light and are good with lower flow. They live in the gravel, so the likelyhood of them going into an overflow or powerhead is reduced as well. I've done a fair amount of research on them, and they seem to actually be quite hardy, for anemones. They definitely will be the only thing in the tank, and no other fish can be in their either, so it works great as an anemone/clownfish setup.
