I would not add an anemone to your tank as 2-96W isn't really sufficient to keep any of the clown hosting anemone species. Also, since you are very new to the hobby, you should wait until you have a little more experience keeping some of the easier soft coral species before moving on to the more difficult anemone species.

Get a feel for your tank first and learn the quirks of it. Get your water parameters stable and let your tank mature. The anemone and clownfish you choose in the future will thank you for it. Even at the 3 month mark, your tank will be pretty new. Most people don't recommend putting in an anemone in your tank until at least the 1yr mark.

We got one 6 months after setting up our 1st reef, found out very fast that PC lighting was not even close to being good enough for an anemone. Upgraded quickly to MH and 2yrs later we still have our GBTA.

I would wait a few more months and upgrade your lighting to MH's or T5's before getting one.
