would a 36" Nova extreme with 4x 39 watt T5HO lights be enough to keep mushroom, button polyps and anemones

I have no corals yet but I would like to get some mushrooms and button polyps and also want an anemone. Can I keep those healthy with those lights? or do I need a totally new set up

I currently have a 36" 50/50 compact flourescent and some one just gave us a t-12. (its actually the previous owners of the tank and he said it was the original hood for it). Should I add it to my tank or leave it off?

Well I have decided on the false percs as my first fish. If I want two do I have to get a mated pair? Or can I just buy two at the same time. I dont care about having babies but I do want them to be friends

I just bought 3 feather duster worms and 2 have opened up fine but one has only stuck the wormy end out. Is that the end I stick in the sand or did the lfs rip off his "feathers"

Thanks for the replies everyone! saltman, I was thinking about pajama cardinals? How many? oceansidefish, I dont mind nori sheets. I have hair algae at the moment anyway.. crypt keeper, Yes I do have a QT its only 10 gallons though, but my fantasy fish are pretty small so I think it will be ok...

P.S. do you have that insured? I would look into that if you dont, cause that things gotta be worth serious $$$$ not just monetary but blood sweat and tears!.

*thump* I just fell out of my chair! Holy [hr] that is an awesome tank! Love the pajama! You must have put alot of hard work and upkeep into that tank but man, that tank really shows that hard work pays off! Nice, very nice

ok so no tangs, other than that is my list so rediculous (sp?) that no one wants to take a stab at it? I am getting my first fish in 2 days so I need the input
