Lighting Question for Carpet, just upgraded

[Kacey]

I have a carpet anemone. I use a 250w 10k XM, and just added 4- t5 equaling a total of 216 watts. I am still using both fixtures with the halide mounted up front and the T5 in back. I have read different articles, some say that 216w of t5 is enough, while others say to keep the metal halide and add t5's. I would appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks for your time,
Kassun

I would keep the MH. My carpet anemone loves mine and has grown to about 22 inches across. I'm going to need a bigger tank soon

I saw one at my LFS and it was almost 2 feet wide. It was insane. Once our carpet outgrows our 75, I start up another tank just for him and my clowns.
