Also i'm concerned that you don't have any calcium in the water, are you testing for it? This is a major thing that corals need and you need time to balance the water with calcium (calcium acts on the alkalinity and the other way around, these need to be balanced for healthy corals).

I know your tank is a year old but with out any fish i'm not sure that now would be a good time to add an anemone, i know they need a mature tank but i'm sure you need fish as well for it to be mature, right now you have a really low bioload of inverts fish will add to the load much more than the inverts will (some please correct me if i'm wrong).

Just my 2 cents, otherwise it sounds like it will be an amazing tank when you get everything in the tank. Can you post picture of what you have now?
