Planning out an Anemone Cube

[ArmyReefer]

Okay, so I will finally do a build thread but I am still working through the details in my head. I have always wanted an Anemone cube. I have one of the most unique BTA in my big reef and absolutely love him, but he is taking up a quarter of the tank. So fast forward and I come across an incredible deal at my LFS for a 60 Gallon cube. I went there to trade in some corals and the tank basically cost nothing so I said lets do it. Now to the questions part.

I am curing old rock right now, and will begin to cycle it after the bleach cure is complete. So still a ways out

Flow. Can I get a away with an MP 10 to provide enough flow in the cube for the anemone? or should I go with an MP 40?

Stocking the tank..... I think I would like to do 7 orange or pink skunks. I plan on purchasing 1 more large anemone to add with mine, and the rest will be small and will need to mature. I am worried that the small ones, if the clowns try to host in them will get beat up and die. Is this a legitimate concern or just a fear? Do 7 sound like a good number for skunks? Would like to purchase them and get them into QT in the next couple of weeks for 60 days of full QT before I add them to the tank.

Thanks for all your help.

I have a 1.5 foot magnifica anemone in a 20G peninsula with an MP10. I just added it last week but it's looking very happy. I also seeded my tank with marine pure and rocks from my established tank, so I didn't have to cycle. I added two clowns same day. I'm also using XR15 pro gen 5 lights.

Sounds very cool! Regards circulation, I highly recommend the Nero 5 Powerhead.
