Anemones and lighting

[reefgreenhorn]

I would like to get long Tent Anemone for my 46GAl Bow Front. I Have 2 20 Watt 50/50 Normal Output Lights. The Tank is only 20Inches deep. Do I have enough light?

Thanks.

>>Do I have enough light?

Definitely not.

LTA's are more forgiving of lower lighting than most other anemones but I don't think you're even close with less than 1 watt per gallon of NO.

I was afraid of that. I have no way to improve the lighting I don't think.

I want to keep the clean look of the Normal output top that comes with the Seaclear. Has anyone retrofitted a SeaClear top with Power Compacts or other lighting? Help.

Get a new canopy top and throw a 175 watt MH in there...
