Hi guys my name is Atif and i have a 22g tank thats fully cycled and it has 2 ocellaris 1 skunk cleaner shrimp and just today i added a tiny baby bubble tip anemone and now im stressed thinking its gonna die when i got it it was fully retracted and a open mouth and severly stressed now its tentacles are still retracted but it moved a little bit and anochored to a rock but i dont have a
Light yet and was gonna get one but the only option i found was a PAR 89 one can u guys tell me what to do and how to keep the anemone healthy until i get a light
 
Amazon budget lighting such as Popbloom, Smatfarm, Nicrew....You can get the light tomorrow. Don't waste your time and money on anything less than 90 watts.
I use a Popbloom Ir90 on my 20.
Long story short you need a light in the next couple days. Don't go to Petco and get a Fluval or such.

Good Luck. 🪸🐚🪸

You purchased an Anemone and you don't have a light?

So a PAR90 can work on my tank
 
Popbloom 90 does not mean 90 par, it means 90 watts. What type of light do you have and how many watts is your light? For a 22 gallon I would suggest 50-60 watts at the very least, but I agree the popbloom 90 would be a good light for that tank.
 
You would need a par meter to tell you par. A Popbloom Ir90 would likely provide all the par you need to keep most common BTA and any future sps or light loving lps.
