MH to LED for anemone tank?

Radions are my favorite however I've never ran AI fixtures before and heard great things about them. I ran Kessil 150's one my first reef before anyone even heard of them and had decent success but not with difficult anemones. Matters how long your tank is but maybe look at the new Kessil AP700 units that have a spread of 48" but are $900. To answer your question I think you'll be fine just make sure you acclimate your system to the LED's. They're much stronger than they get credit for so if you run radions make sure you start at 50% and work your way up. Their software is awesome so it's easy to adjust.

I went from 250 watt radium to the Orphek v2. I was concerned at first but my mag seems to love it as well as my Ritteri.

IME, I have had serious difficulty with SPS since switching to LED, however, my anemones seem to love it -- I think it has something to do with the shading. For a nem-dominated tank, I wouldn't hesitate to switch to a good LED fixture.

I keep all my nems under AI Leds. Sol, Nano and hydras at the moment. Setting up one for mini maxis and RFA with the new primes. No problems thus far.

I documented my gigantea anemone as the first on RC under LEDs. Might be helpful for you. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1809346
The Gig is still doing well, but I've switched over to T5 + MH in an effort to have better results with SPS corals. It really loved the LEDs and I've been considering adding an LED spotlight for the anemone.
