Light Strong Enough for BTA?

[Joe-ness]

I have a 10g nano reef with a 32w PC light. (1 10000K and 1 Actinic) i was wondering if this lighting would be suitable for a BTA. Can anyone lend some info?

Think it would be pushing it. Years ago I had a ten gallon set up, had a couple of BTAs in there under 96 watts of PC. They did fine for a while, but ended up getting too big for the tank.

I personally don't like having any of the hosting anemones in any thing smaller then a 29 gallon tank.

it maybe the right size for a while but eventually the nem will outgrow that tank

Some have had luck with BTA's and PC's, but 32w IMO is too low, and it will most likely outgrow your tank pretty quickly..

Not that it can't be done, but really shouldn't be done IMO.
Nem will be inches from intakes, water params difficult to keep stable in that small tank, and nem will outgrow(if it survives) quickly.
Even a 30 is pushing it IMO

Well, that solves that...Thanks for information.
