So long story short my 75g tank was overtaken by the nasty ich disease cause by a yellow peel damsel fish I had put in the tank which I wasn't aware was a damsel. He stressed out all the fish, killed 2 of them and then the outbreak happened and wiped my whole tank out.
After all my livestock were obliterated I turned my temperature up to high 80s and lowered my salinity down to 0.010 and kept it that way for 10 weeks. I just introduced a juvenile percula clown yesterday (I believe it is a false percula) to test the water out and make sure there is no more ich left, since you can't test for ich disease and the clown only cost me $10 I figured this was the best option.
It's been 24 hours now and the clown seems happy as can be :banana: so it is looking good. I'm going to wait a week and make sure everything is still going well and will be introducing a 2nd clown to pair them up. I would really like to get a carpet anemone and hopefully get them to host and am wondering what the best way that will give me the best success rate.
Is there anything else besides adding the 2nd clown and the anemone in a certain order that I could do that would further aid in the successful hosting goal? Any advice you guys can offer would be much appreciated!

This is what my current plan is: given that I see the clown looks healthy and no signs of ich, I will introduce a new clown and give that however long it takes for them to warm up to each other and "pair up." Once that bond is established I'll add a carpet anemone into the tank which I am hoping that since they will be the only 2 fish in the tank, and being at a young age they will take right to it.Is my plan of attack ideal? I was also thinking of introducing the carpet anemone first before adding a 2nd clown, or should I stick to the original plan? If the carpet anemone is hard to get these false percula type clown fish to host, what is another anemone I could get that will have a higher success rate?
