non clownhosting anemones usually don't require as much light, but usually need lower temperatures and can become a nuisance.
but im sure you read that somewhere, why do people read stuff and pass it on as if its for certain. ok yes i would go to say no matter if it host or doesnt, i would keep it under good lighting, and im not talking abut metal halides, HO's can do the tricc aslong as you have enough.
i kept BTA under PC'S for 8 mo, it hosted my clown but decided to move into the direction of a powerhead that didnt have a bottom to stop suction of inverts. "MY MISTAKE". Anyways, water parameters, doesnt mean much either like i previously stated in another forum i havent done a water change in 2 1/2 mo i just top off and add a buffer, not that i recommend this but its a test im doing. and everythings fine. dont get discouraged by anenonmes. i heard they crash your tank when dead. hahah, well mine got sucked up a powerhead and shot out the spout clouding my tank, everything lived, fish and corals, and tank didnt crash
oh and i have no sump or refugium, i have two Hang on filt. and two protein skimmers with 4 power heads,
