HELP!!!! ...clowdy water and lighting problems!!

[nemosd]

hello, i just started a new 55g saltwater tank, its been going for about 3 months now and i recently perchaced an anenomie, the food for it is the "advanced invertebrate 1 formula" and well, i miss read the directions and was puting too much in, no the water is all clowdy and im wondering what i can do to clear it up? ..i just put in a skimmer... is that going to be enough? ...also i got a carpet anenomie and some live rock and a leather anenomie, what kind of lighting should i get... and where can i get it? ...also the skimmer doesnt really fit into my tank, the cover for the tank is partially off so it can fit in there... where can i get a new top? sorry i know this is alot of questions, just trying to get everything to work. thanks!

You will need metal halides for an anemone. Tou can get a regular fixturer which would be the most expensive option. Or you can get 2 pendants for a 55G you can go as low as 150W x2, or you can go with a retro kit which means you will be wiring the whole set up form A to Z, and that would be the cheapest way of doing it. As for the cover you will need a new one anyway for halides because they get very hot and should be at least 6 inches from the top of the water in your tank. As for the clouding how long has it been going on?

its been cloudy for about a week now, ive only had the skimmer goin for a couple hours now, i wanna say it might be helping, but its still early to see any major difference.
