What size tank do you have? What sort of anemones? How long has your tank been set up?

I kept a 10-12 inch sebae using a 4 bulb on a 36" tank. I'm now using 8 bulb on a 24" tank to keep it and some added corals and it is also loving it. Have kept it for a few yrs now.

What type of fixture & bulbs?

The intensity of lighting with t-5s depends greatly on the type of fixture and the bulbs used. Individual reflectors and good quality bulbs can successfully maintain the most light demanding species, assuming the animals are located in proximity to the bulbs and you have enough bulbs --and the bulbs aren't too old (10 months is about as long as I would use them).
