lighting in 55g

[mikeandjenn99]

Is it possible to house an anem with only PC lighting? I have a 4x65w fixture on my tank and really can't get a MH at all. I'd like an anem because I think they are gorgeous, and I think my clown would like it as well. I don't want to put it in a tank that wouldn't give it the light it needs, but I'm getting almost 5 watts per gallon, and it's pretty darn bright.
Thanks!

BTA should be ok

Agreed. I've seen it done many times successfully.

A LFS has had a huge LTA in a 55 w/ the same lighting as you for as long as I can remember...

i have BTA in my tank under PC and is doing wonderful and has actually doubled in size!

Sweet! I hope I can get a nice one after my tank ages for a couple more months.

same as me got the same lighting as you and tank size. but the bta can be in as little light as 220 in a 55.
but same i cant wait for my tank to age to see the relationship between the two.
