Right now I have a 10 gallon hospital tank with 2 pec clowns, 3 lbs of LR and 2 inches of CC/LS. I am currently curing some rock and will eventually have about 10-15 lbs in there.
I have been able to keep the water very stable for awhile now so I want to go ahead and get a anemone.
I wanted suggestions on the type of lighting I should get. Do you think a 24" - 65 watt PC would do the trick?
I would also like to do some corals eventually too. :help:

Well, silly, 10g isnt adequate enough to support the life on Anemone. You will need atlease 30gallons of wawa, and if u try to get anemone in that small of a tank the Anemone will gobble up the clowns.
Stay cute:jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I have a 10 gal AGA with the current usa orbit 80 watt pc fixture. I love this light and I have been keeping a bubble tip anenome for a few months now with this light. I highly recommend this fixture because of the seperate switches for actinic, daylight and moonlights...

Not exactly the best idea to put an anemone in a 10 gallon tank. Smaller tanks do not have as stable water parameters as larger tanks, and anemones need verryyyy stable params. How long has the tank been setup?
Do not post the link here, it is not allowed. Get it through email or something.
And BTW, the anemone will not eat your clowns in a 10 gallon.

GREAT tank yes indeed...an example for me to follow as i set-up my 10 gallon lol. By the way what hang-on filter is that? and also whats the flow rate on your power-head and whats that little white box in the upper right hand corner?

I also have the Current USA. Great light. The only thing I do not like about it is that it is louder (the fan that is) than others of the same size.

yeah, the fan is quite loud, but its a small price to pay for excellent light! I love it and recomend it to anyone with a 10 gal...
