BioCube 29 compatible with carpets when extra LEDs are added?

Would a BioCube 29 be capable of handling a small haddoni carpet given 2 x coral life bio cube strips were added in addition to the standard lighting or would a separate led unit be necessary?

Also, even if not, which led's would you recommend both spaces be filled with white, one white strip and one blue, or both for blue?

**If cannot house a carpet long term, also am considering using the biocube as a holding tank before adding to display, would it be at least sufficient to house a carpet for a month?

blue:

I hate to say it but no way. Not a chance [emoji57] sorry.

MAYBE a month... But that's cutting it close.
 
Those light are not anywhere near enough. Unless you can get much brighter light, you should not get an anemone
 
I knew it would be a long shot that it would be enough light considering my main display runs dual 400 watt mh w/ t5s mainly for my carpets. Figured I could at least use the Bio-cube to quarantine a future carpet, but I will not be putting any carpets in my biocube. Thank you both!
 
Just for QT and treatment can use that tank. Just put one or two cheap LED flood light on it. The tank won't look good, but the anemone will do fine if you put 30-40 Watts of LED light on it 5500 or 6000K light. You can get these from Home Depo for fairly cheap.
