I'm looking at getting this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0027J2UR8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_jP62vbGBE5QA4 for my bta and recently found hitchhiking mushroom. I read I should have 4 watts per gallon, which would be 260, but can't find a 36" 6x39 lamp setup. This one only does 156. It's a 36x24 deep tank I believe. Is this gonna be an issue or will it be enough light?

Deep tank? How deep? And how deep in the tank will the anemone be?
It's 24 inches deep. Right now the Nem is probably 18-20 inches down. He's deflated now but not to worried since now I know they do the list from time to time. My last one I freaked lol

24" is pretty much a standard depth. less is shallow and more is deep.
You should be OK as far as the amount of light goes. And the 4 watt / gallon is just a VERY rough starting point. Don't let it bother you.
