Asta 20 from amazon not enough for anemone?

[BigKestral]

I have picked up a free anemone from someone and feel like this light is not giving it enough light... heard they need like over 200 PAR.

My tank is the fluval evo 13.5 and it is sitting like right in the middle.

I don't know about Astra 20, but 200 par sounds like a lot of light. Nems survive in far less.

What type of anemone?

I"ve kept BTAs in as low as 75 par.

I bake my Nems. They love it

That's some good news.

I will take some pics when I'm home. I too want to know what kind it is

Link to your light? I can’t find it, and I’m going to venture to guess you didn’t use a PAR meter, and are going off of advertised PAR levels from the manufacturer.

Edit: this?

It is a BTA. Mine is big enough to fill an entire 13g now :)
