good enough for anemones??

[jthomas0385]

I have a 55 gallon 48" long tank. I need to upgrade my lighting so I can buy anemones and corals. I was thinking a Nova Extreme T-5 lighting. The light comes with 4, 54 watt T-5 bulbs for a total of 216 watts. The lighting also comes with a parabolic reflector. Would this quality of light be good enough for anemones and soft corals?? Thanks for the help!

Depends on what type of anemone. IMO Absolutely a bubble tip, but there are other higher light demanding anemones that probably wouldnt do well.

yeah I would be real happy with a bubble tip. That would do alright under that lighting?
