Tube anemone tank cycling, need lighting suggestions

[harleychic]

Hey all, always been a tube nem fan, cycling a 10 gal tank just for them. I know they are non-photosynthetic, I am looking for some cool ideas for led lighting that will really make their colors pop! I'm not a diy person, looking for a plug and play type thing, thanks!!

Their colors don't need lighting to make them pop. They are naturally colored those colors. I would go for something subdued since they come from deeper waters. Can't wait to see your new tank!!

I would say two t5s

fiji purple and a blue plus or something like that

Thanks for the replies guys. I like your suggestion gemini, are there any leds that resemble that color combo that you are aware of?

 

[gemini aquarius(t)]

Not that I know of, I am looking for them though, cause thats pretty much what I want over my new tank

I just love the shimmer effect of them, I have them over a couple of my tanks. Could I add some of those ecoexotic stunner strips to a t5 fixture for the same effect?

I'm also wondering about the marineland double bright or single fixture. There will not be any corals, except maybe a sun coral.

would a tube anemone be ok under 2 compact flourescents and under 1.5 feet of water?

They don't care about light. Bright dim or no light they are fine
