How would you categorize my aquarium?

Is a tank with fish, live rock, and anemones considered FOWLR? Or do I need to think like someone who wants corals when planning lighting, filtration, and all the other goodies reefs require? Thanks!

Anenomes require high light.

I wouldn't consider a tank with an anemone a FOWLR...after all, that means Fish Only With Live Rock. If you have an anemone, I'd hope you already have thought of AND purchased lighting appropriate for your anemone. I'm sure if you research the needs of your anemone on here, you'll find out all kinds of things about what type of tank and tank mates are suitable for keeping it healthy.

I think I would like T5s. My tank is 18" tall. Any particular reason I need six bulbs instead of four?
