Question on how to keep a Bubble Tip Anemone

[sean A.]

A friend of mine wants to give me his Bubble Tip Anemone.
I have a FOWLR tank with Coralife T5 lighting for it. Is that lighting
sufficient to for the Anemone

It can survive, How many lights you running?
Can you give a brief descrption on your lights?
color of bulbs and how many? You running reflectors?

 

[sean A.]

They are just some basic T5's. There are 2 bulbs in each casing. One
White & one Blue. I have 2 of them that starch across the top of the tank.
Nothing extravagant.

That would be stretching it, The BTA would probably roam alot and end up in the pumps. I would pass unless you want to upgrade the lights. I would do no less than 6 54 watt bulbs on your 55 gal. 8 would be ideal inless you start overdriving them with icecap ballasts then 6 would work.

I saw your other thread, if this is for your 240 gallon tank -- won't work.

Ok thanks for all of the info. I'm gonna pass on it.

I did too, but I happened to see another thread where he mentioned the 240 gallon tank.
