How do I calculate my tanks lighting needs?

[kkaeterle]

Hello everyone!!

I recently acquired a 90 gallon clownfish & anemone tank- the height is 36 inches. I am looking to purchase LED lighting for the tank. What is the best way to calculate the lighting requirments for the tank? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!

What kind of anemones? Some are found in very shallow reefs requiring strong light and strong flow making a 36" tall tank less ideal. You can try Kessil A360N (Narrow) or Radion Pro. Really depends on what your budget is. Here's an older video from BRS on LED light selection

Thank you for the video! It was very helpful. The anemones are bubble- tip anemones and currently have a Metal halide light (250w/ 10,000k) over them.
