Anemone Lighting?

[Tajjo]

Hey all i was just wondering what type of light would be best for an anemone? T5's, PC's, Or MH,

Any of those can work, depending on depth of tank. Generally T-5 HO or MH is used in tanks deeper than 16 inches or so. PC's are only effective for an anemone in the top foot or so of the water.

I use PCs. 3 x 96 watts for a 65 gal. 288watts total.
With 3 BTA's everything is doing well.
I also have some LPS to SPS and all is good for almost 2 years now.


But it does depend on your tank size and what else you want in your tank.

That's definitely plenty.
