yes i completely agree we need more information before we can help her.

Than stop trying to be Mr. T5 expert because you are not.

Many of us gave out our opinion on her lighting. We are going by what has been given which factors into the equation. Our answer is simply we think she needs more lighting. The lighting is not going to kill the anemone. But depending on what type of anemone she gets, it will slowly die over a period of time. Being in a 29 gallon any anemone will outgrow that tank. Why get an anemone for a short period of time and than have to sell it. Wheres the enjoyment in that? I would say a 40 gallon tank would be the minimum size for an anemone.

ok, fist off i know of no bubble tip getting bigger than a 29 gallon tank. so unless you can get my a picture that theory is out fo the question, secondly who said i was " mr t-5 expert" i am trying to say re read the post 55, and if you do mabey you will get my point of the ( i believe THEY are 24 watt) THEY!!!!!! that would be plural. now you will say im rude, however comments like trying to be mr t-5 expert are rude, i havent said one thing to you, my first post simply said i would like to correct the information you gave, becaude you assumed she had only 24 watts of light. i thin we need her to chime back in to settle this, but in the mean time i think you should read her post then mabey you can stop taking personal stabd at a 15 year old. one more thing about outgrowing, most people say it will outgrow, because it gets so big that you couldnt have really any other coral or stuff, but mabey thats all she wants, so i would have to say for a bubble tip its fine ( not for carpets of lta though) thanx

Some folks need to step back from the keyboard or take non Anemone and Clownfish related contests to PM.

Until Nikki posts an update, this thread should be considered closed.

Thanks.

None of us assumed that she had 24 watts of light, she stated that she had 24 watts of light.
You jump on here preaching about T-5's and stating that you would like to correct us, and yet the information that you gave was all wrong.
It's funny that you come off to us as being so superior and condescending, and yet when you're proven wrong you jump up and down and pull out the I'm-just-a-poor-15-year-old-why-don't-you-pick-on-someone-your-own-age pity party.

BTA's can get very sizable. Although they usually will split by the time they reach 8 or so inches, sometimes they will continue to grow without a split and can reach 12 inches or so. In the wild individual BTA's in deeper water have been recorded at 20 inches across.

Here's a good series of growth pictures of BTA's.

Let me show you this one picture. Click on the link and scroll down to the bottom of the thread. Look at the 110 gallon tank.

You can see how easy it is for them to easily get that size.

I havn't said your rude at all but your making some of us sound like we are inferior to you which is definately not the case.
