20gallon all anemone

[aliciajoshltjt]

so i had a 75 gallon with a few carpets and one or two rbta's in the tank but im planning a cruise in about a month as well as saving up for something very shiny for the miss to take the next step. anyhow I moved just a few fish over and a ton of rock. I have our blenny and a pair of true percs that we have had for their entire lives pretty much. I have lights that I used as more of a 'nightlight' that I put on the 20. It is a 2 24watt high output T5 fixture, can I put any anemone in the tank and will it stay higher in the tank so I dont have to worry as much about the light penetrating the bottom?

thanks

48 watts on a 20 gallon...It would be risky putting an anemone in there, imo.

i figured watts per gallon i would be fine with a lower light anemone but was not sure because of the depth.

why question marks. im thinking i might look into the 4 24watt t5 fixture. we'll just have to see i guess

I would think 4 24-watt HO T-5s would be plenty for a BTA. That is really the only host species I would recommend for a 20 gallon aquarium.

And, to answer your question about the question marks, I found your post to be confusing.

Ah, apologies for the confusion. I only have the 2 x 24's currently. I still have reflectors, ballasts, and bulbs though for my 2 10k reeflux bulbs and coralvue ballasts from my 75 gallon setup. I was thinking of the best way to properly mount one of them overhead and then have the extra for when it needs replacing. any ideas?
