carpet anemones and t-5

newreefer92 · Aug 14, 2014

Hey I have a 40 breeder with 96 watts of 50/50 t5. All my water levels are good and fish are happy but I would like to add a carpet anemone to my tank. Would it be possible with what I have or do I need more light? Thanks for the help.

Probably need more light. get a cheap led.

Sure that they are T5s? 96 watts is a PC wattage, and it is 36 inches, which is also the length of a 40 breeder.
36" T5s would be 39 watt per lamp.

Also, what species of "carpet" anemone? There are 3 hosting "carpets", they have different care levels.
