Lighting Needed for 24" Deep Tank and Bubble Tip Anemone

[Hammer70]

I'm hoping to get a bubble tip anemone, but since my tank is deep at 24", I'm not sure what kind of light would be best. I currently have live corals that are doing well using an 18" Current USA Marine LED light.

Thanks,
John

From all the reading I did, up to 24 inches you can use pretty much any LED fixture, as long as they are using 3W LEDs. It can be something as cheap as Chinese black boxes like MarsAqua, ViparSpectra, etc, or something as expensive as AI and Radion. More important is placement (height) and how many units you need of each to get even coverage across the tank.

I have two kessil a160we's on my 24" deep tank. Any combo of t5's and led work great

I have bubble tip nems in a 24" and 28" deep tanks under black boxes. Probably 30 total and they have been doing good for over a year. They split a lot at first but seem to have stopped and are now getting large. The are 1/3 - 1/2 way up on rocks.
