    How many watts of metal halide needed on a 40g long?

    I have a 40 gallon long tank that has t5 lighting on it now. I am wanting to switch it over to halides because lets face it without the halides you really can't grow anything super cool.

    Anemone question

    I've just started a reef aquarium and I'm not familiar with how anemones act. Is it normal for them to sort of float around and just swell up all day?
