Hey i am a beginner and was wondering in a year or so from starting the cycling i could get a carpet anenome?
Also what kind of lighting do they need. And how much does the lighting cost?
Tank size is 125g
 
I wouldn't start with a carpet. You'll need some intense lighting (minimum several T5's and a metal halide spot), and they have a tendency to travel about the tank. They are very "sticky" and are easily damaged if you pull away from them (or if clowns try to steal a food item), as well as more sensitive to water conditions than most. I'd venture to say that long-term survival rate isn't that high. Not an ideal beginner's anemone.
