Aquatopia Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thanks for the advice Suphew I am now starting to think the first anemone was part of the reason the tank fell over first time. It pays to get advice on these things, as the LFS said it would be ok ($180) Bloody hell, what sort of anemone was it? That seems pricey !

reef Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 How much special lighting do Anemones need I currently have 1x25w Sera Actinic Blue 1x 25w Atman tri-power 15000k 1x25w Atman super light 10k They are all T5s the lighting you have it no good for anemoes. you need metal halide or quality t5 unit with 4 tubes.

shaneo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 In the past hollywoods have had them under twin T8s and they looked happy and I've seen a few in tanks sitting in low light looking really good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
