carpet question

[dave168]

can I put carpet anemone under t5 or pc?

no problem with S. haddoni, assuming all else with the lighting vs aquarium dimensions are good. i actually kept them long term under a bank of 4' 32watt zoo-med NO t8's. if you're still planning go with the HO t5/indv. reflectors per tube. they'll way outperform pc's and replacement bulbs aren't expensive, you'll save money in the long run.

It can be done with a Haddoni (( wouldn't do it with any other hosting "carpet )), but all of mine looked a heck of a lot better under MH (( think T5s would be fine, but I don't have any real experiences with them )). I had mine under 6*65 PCs over a 75, and it was living but not thriving. After the switch it was almost like I got a new one.

For what its worth, my Gigantia has been under T5's for 3+ months. Was bleached when I got it, its no longer bleached.
No exp with PC and Nems, but would not suggest it.

My Gigantea has been under T5's for over a year, never moved from the original spot i placed it either. Good luck.

How deep is your tank? Will the anemone be place on the sand bed or is it attached to a rock that can be placed closer to the surface?

Good luck and make sure you find a healthy specimen.
