Anemones under power compact lighting

[RoganTerrance]

Anyone have any success with anemones using Powercompacts? I just read on aquacon's web site, "Make sure the tank has Powercompacts, VHO's or Halides for success." Ive always ran Mh over my tanks, thinking of going Led. Just curious to know, post pictures and the kind of Anemones you have under power compact lighting.

I wouldn't take any advice offered by Aquacon. That company has a really bad reputation in the industry.

I had a carpet nem under PC's for about 6 years before I moved and lost it

Their info just hasn't been updated. Who would recommend PC bulbs at all when there are so many better options.

To answer your question. I have kept BTAs, haddoni and H. crispa under PC lights with great success (all between 5 and 17 years). Since I also kept anemones before there were PC or T5s, I have also kept the above anemones under normal output fluorescents with equal success.

Yes there are much better options out there but as others have said I've had a lot of success with nems under them
