T-5 + Anemones?

[anaya]

It depends on what species you're trying to keep.
carpets im not sure as i just lost mine yesterday.. i'm running a T-5system with 2 ati blue plus, an ati purple plus and an ati aquablue special.

Amazing lights but my carpet was bleached and unhealthy upon purchase...
my aurora anemone FLOURISHES though...

T-5s are great as long as you're willing to buy quality bulbs.. and not the petco garbage..

good luck!

My 180 houses bubble tips and a hadoni .
They are under 8 bulb T 5 fixture.
It works for me.

The right T-5s are definitely suitable for most anemones. I've kept a large S. Gigantea carpet for 2 years so far under my t-5s

Cheebs what bulbs are you using
4 actinic
4 blue
works for me

The light is a Nova Extreme SLR 30" 48watt; bulbs are what came in it.
The light is 15" above sandbed.
If this will not work could I add a 70watt viper, or another T-5 fixture?

I'm no expert by any means, i justlove the hobby.. one thing ive learned is the stock bulbs never do the trick see if your lfs stocks any ati bulbs

good luck!!
