is 130 watts sufficient for 29 gallon?

[hook]

got a 29 gallon, already purchased my lighting, got 130 watt PC's. Is that sufficient lighting for a BTA or carpet anemone?

IMO that's not enough lighting for any hosting species of anemone. Would you consider upgrading the lights?

Really the more the merrier, in terms of light wattage. The higher you go the more chance of success you have, and the less you need to upgrade. Go for one of those HOT metal halide HQL, or a pendant.

Is it enought for corals?

 

[viper_930]

It's enough for soft corals and LPS. No SPS, anemones, or clams.

i agree, spend the extra buck, to get good lighting, so you dont lose the extra buck when a prized anemone dies or a coral dies.
