i have a healthy ( 2 year old) reef tank that is doing great. i have a HUGE derasa clam, and also a bunch of other lps, and softie corals ( sps are comin soon ) . my question is i would like you to recomend a SUPER online store where i an purchase a HEATHY, carpet ( really want green, red, or blue ) anemone. i have a small lta, which is doin great starting to color up ( bought bleached from lfs ) but it is a little stressed by my big female clown hosting in it. i would like to find a nice carpet. but also am wondering is my current 4 39 watt tv bublbs enough?? bi\
 
I don't think you have enough light for a carpet. I am not a carpet owner however and have never had one so can't really tell you but bumping for someone that knows about them.
 
IMO 29 gallon tank would be too small for a carpet. I have two carpets in my 50g(very shallow one at that) and they take up quite a bit of space. Recommended lighting for carpets is metal halides as well. I think you would be able to keep a carpet in a 29 gallon for a limited time if you upgrade the lights but will have to move it sooner or later before it takes up all the space in you tank.
 
Carpets will quickly get to 12" or even double that. Mine split at 16". Both are now almost 12". Got to find a home for one of them, maybe.
 
Even the smallest species of carpet anemones usually tops out at around 24", with the largest exceeding a meter (~39"). I would consider a larger tank, if it were me.
 
well where is the best online store ( with arive alive garentees ) and also cheapest to get a purple or green lta online. i will stick with just a nicer lta instead of carpet. thanx guys, but like i asked wheres the best spot
