Hi i have a 200 gallon fresh water tank that i would eventually like to turn into a salltwater tank with live sand, live rock, anemones dwarf pygmy and maybe a queen angel, tangs and clownfish. Now the question for the anemones what is the cheapest lighting i could get. i was thinking of getting 2 of the jebo oddessea
power compact 48" 4x65w, each one would be 260 watts would this be ok for this set up? i think that would be probably long enough for the tank if not longer.
:help:
And another question i also have a 55 gallon salt water tank already set up with a pair of goldstripe maroon clowns and a bar goby. i was wanting to get them an anemone the clowns are very shy. but once again the lighting problem. would it be ok to get 1 of the jebo oddessea power compact 48" 2x65w, making the wattage 130 watts or should i get 1 of the jebo oddessea power compact 48" 4x65w making thev wattage 260 or would none of these set ups work?

PC lights wont cut it for anemones. You have to get mh lights. Helloights has some good deals on mh lights. They have 400 watt units for $140 plus $20 for bulb. I would go with 3 of those 400 watt units and you'll have a good reef with good lighting. Thats the cheapest your gonna get.
