If you just want clownfish and not a reef, you just set it up like a freshwater tank but add salt really. Do some research on fish only tanks.

Still get some live rock in and go for the berlin filtration method, its the best way if your aiming to breed coz the live rock not only nitrifies but also denitrifies aswell, nitrate even in small ammounts that can leave adults un hindered, can potentialy kill the fry.
also dont let shops kid u into buying a group specialy with maroons, tomatoe and fire clowns coz they have issues as it is!
clowns are born hermaphrodites and the bigger fish always takes the rold of female. if you can get a pair of indo fires they are stunning! but its better to buy them as a pair rather than trying to pair your own.

I didnt know the OP wanted to breed. I would go for LR if you are for pure easyness. If not then Fish only would be fine
