Can anemone's be kept under T-5's?

[SeanT]

I have the Aquatinics Constellation which hold's 14, 39W T5 HO lamps/
I have always had halides but haven't kept an anemone in years.
My daughter wants one again.

Can this fixture put out enough light for it?

Anyone have any experiences with them and anemone's?

Heck yeah.

 

[SeanT]

Thanks.
She wants a Rose BTA of course.
Will they hold their coloration once established and happy in this lighting?

 

[JetCat USA]

Yes.

Wow, yes you could keep anything. There could have been some issues but once I seen the fixture was an Aquatinics Constellation they were cleared up quickly. I seen that fixture at MACNA and I was blown away. I will eventually get one for my 125g. I just dont have the money right now.

Note. Im a little jealous now.

 

[SeanT]

Thank you.

Shouldn't be a problem.

The Tank of the Month by Pwitby ~ all he runs on his 600 gallon is T5s.......over 20 T5s AND he has several RBTA~~~ Its truly a Magnificient tank ~ seen it myself

Not all t-5's are created equal. With individual reflectors you should be able to keep anything. Without them I would only try haddoni or bubble tip

You should be good to go! I only use 4x54w T-5s on a 60g with crappy bulbs and my RBTA is doing well.
