Blue Gigantea!

[daryn1]

What are peoples thoughts keeping a blue Gigantea under good quality T5 lighting. Tank is 12" deep. The Blue carpet is 4-6" in diameter so is still a babby.
Any suggestions would be much apreciated:thumbsup:

I think it would be okay if you had enough bulbs.Perferable 6 but some people have kept them under 4.

I have 8 ati 54w ati tubes. Do they generaly like a sand bed? I know from previous experience that my Haddonis did not stop moving untill they had a sandbed. I want to avoid a sand bed in my current set up if i can.

Ive seen Giganteas in the sand but most of them Ive seen are in the rocks.

It should be able to get plenty of light in that system. If the tank is only 12" deep, and the anemone is on a rock, that puts it just a few inches away from the light. Being that close, standard fluorescents or PC's wold work.

I personally prefer the point source of light provided by MH's for anemones though. They just seem to move much less under MH's in my experience.
