lighting for Anemones

[mazdaghost]

is 96 watt 10,000k daylight and 96watt trueactinic 03 ( coralife lunar aqualight ) thats 36 long for a 46 gallon enough lite for an
Anemones

 

[xxseawolf]

that should be plenty for a anemone.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

what kind of anemone

 

[mazdaghost]

its carpet anemone and pink tip anemone

 

[GSMguy]

they should definetly not be touching eachother that is all bad.

 

[mazdaghost]

thats an picture when i first got them.now one on one side and the other is on the other side of they tank. they seem to always keep distance from each other.when the big carpet gets to close the little one moves to the other side by morning.

Your carpet anemone looks really nice. It looks like you have a Haddoni carpet. But honestly, I don't think the lights you have are going to be strong enough to keep it for the long run.

 

[GSMguy]

haddoni do fine under pc light most of the time. 200w in a 46 should keep a haddoni for a while.

 

[JamesJR]

Really? I have only kept them succesfully under metal halides. Did you feed yours a lot or have any bleaching problems?

 

[mazdaghost]

i feed them once a week. one clam cube between both of them and some krill. and no bleaching they have some color.

 

[GSMguy]

Haddoni in the wild are collected in deeper water than gigantea and magnifica some of the brigter colored ones are collected shallow but the green that is in the picture is not one of those.

200w pc would definetly be ok for some of these species

 

[mazdaghost]

what 200w pc would you suggest. brand and pictures and where you would get it will help me out

 

[Str8baller]

I think they are saying the light you have is fine. You do not need to go out and buy a new 200w PC lights. you already have 200w worth.

 

[GSMguy]

oh,, do you want new lights?? like a new fixture?

 

[mazdaghost]

thanks for all the help that cool i dont have to buy new lights.

 

[InLimbo87]

I personally would never keep any anenome (save the non-photosynthetic ones) in anything less than t5s, vhos, or mh's. They are light-craving creatures, and pc's just dont cut it imo.

 

[GSMguy]

lots of folks keep BTA and haddoni under pc it just need to be allot of pc for years people kept haddoni under NO florescent.
