How much more light is needed?

[liverock27]

After reading and looking at all the pics on this site of everyones anenomies I have become a little interested in purchasing one myself, but only if it will be healthy in my setup
30g
Fluval 204
Seaclone100(i know it sucks, but i got it for free)
two powerheads
Coralife with 2 lunar aquaticlights and 2 Bluemoon lights
25lbs live rock
25lbs live sand
2 marron clowns
Toadstool leather(looks great and clowns are hosting it)
Lawnmower blenny
Orange/red polps
blue striped mushroom coral
Let me know if you think i should even bother with an anenome, but if it would be possible what kind and should I be worried about my corals?

Could you explain your lights?
"Coralife with 2 lunar aquaticlights and 2 Bluemoon lights"
:notsure:
How many watts? is this PC or VHO or just Normal output? What spectrum are they?

Sorry about that. It has 2 65w True Actinic 03 and 2 65w straight pin compact fluorescent lamps, 10,000k Daylight lamps with 2 3/4w Blue moon glow LED lamps. It is in a 24inch compact fluorescent light fixture with the built in LED lamp with a reflector. I hope this answers your question. When it comes to lighting I am still not very educated:help:

Well althought thats about 4.3 watts per gallon, and many say that you can normally keep BTA's and Haitians in that amount of light. Your lighting just isn't really up there with the medium sized dogs. I've seen BTA's dwindle in 80 watts before because it was to week of lighting, and at 130 watts your pushing the limit IMO. I would prefer to see you have at least 220 watts of lighting or more.
Anemones demand the best lighting you can give them without going overboard.
Any chance you can fit a second fixture in there? or another stronger one?

I really have no room left on top of my tank for any more light and I was looking for a higher watt bulb for in it, but no luck. It's ok, I was just wondering if I could have an anenome, but it is no big deal my clowns seem content without one.

You cannot just replace the bulb with a different wattage. The ballast that runs the bulbs are made for 1 wattage and only that wattage.
