Can I add an anemone into this tank?

[1clownfish]

Hi all! My name is Sarah and I am realitively new to the saltwater aquarium hobby and about a year ago I set up a 20 gallon long aquarium with two snowflake clownfish unfortunately the younger and smaller one passed away leaving the larger female to have the tank to her self and it has been that way for almost 6 months. before the younger one passed away I had a bubble tip anemone and it was doing fine for a few weeks then it started to bleach and die because the aquarium was only a few months cycled and I still hadn’t figured out my evaporation problem and it was causing temperature problems and fluctuations in the water chemistry. I also was using tap water instead of RODI water. Now I have all those problems fixed but I am scared to add the anemone in case it dies again becuase they are very delicate. Can anyone please tell me if they think it is a good idea??? Also I have tried numerous times to add invertebrates to the tank but every single time in a matter of days they die the only invertebrate that has lived a longer life is a cleaner shrimp that had lived for almost 5 months in the tank when sadly one day he passed I am not sure why I just can’t seem to keep anything alive! and I don’t know why!! The only thing that is thriving is my snowflake clownfish she is doing perfect can anywho help me?? And I can assure you that the water chemistry is perfect I test it every week. Thankyou!

Please let me know if it is a good idea to get another bubble tip anemone and i was also thinking of getting another cleaner shrimp. In case you are wondering the tank is a year cycled

If you have anything that you see wrong with my tank please let me know or if you have any questions

It does seem that your tank is still a bit unhealthy, the amount of green on the rocks is concerning. Please test (or have a fish store test) the following and let us know the results:

Salinity
PH
Alkalinity
Nitrates
Phosphates

Also, please share the temperature you have the heater set to. Hopefully something in there will stand out as to why things keep dying.

Hi so I made Another post talking about this same topic (I accidentally posted the same topic twice) and I posted pics after I tested my water prams and I would prefer to talk on the other post since it has more info the post is called: should I add an anemone into my tank. Yes it has a very similar name i apologize for the inconvenience

Edit: i read eel and clownfish some odd reason. Also, have you ever used copper with your setup?

Also, if you can't keep snails alive. Any anemone, coral you add will die.
