Waterbox 10G Bubble Tip Tank - PAR?

[PachoGinetai]

Hey community,

after 20 years of keeping LPS and SPS , i made in the last months a Anemone tank ready.

There are 2 other soft coral, but the tank is focused in ist Anemone, which hopefully take the tank over

Ive read very much about the care, but in par i read different opinions.

My light is a Lumini Pixie 30, which has 30 watts, and a confirmed par from 266, 12" Under the light. But this is with all channels on 100% and a spectrum of 12000 Kelvin.

Because i dont like the white look, i dimmed the white to 15%, and the Anemone took it s place 18" under the light.

That was before 4 days when i become it.

Now my questions, do you think the Anemone has enough light without the whites? And can you rate my Anemone if everything looks fine? Made pics direct after lights on.

Thank you in advance ✌

what is the par since you reduced the white lights? If they are not happy they tend to move.
150-250 is what I would shoot for

Anemones can (and do) move if they can't find conditions they like. I've found that for "typical" anemones (BTAs, LTAs, RFAs) the 150-250 PAR range seems to be plenty. I read all the "they need SPS level PAR" posts and articles, but I found that my BTAs moved out front and center in the tank when I decreased my lighting to around 180-200 PAR in the middle of the tank.

If you're talking carpets and the bigger, more specialized anemones, then yes, they probably could use more light (and more white light).
