Yes and no look at first if fixture has individual reflectors. Then look into power consumption and the price to replace bulbs (every 6 to 12 months) depending on the brand you buy. Add this all up over 11 years subtract that from 2 LED fixtures at about $300 to $500. You tell me which are better. Also your anemone's will not do well under T8's for long better upgrade light soon. You missed a fish what is the one on far left looks like a tang?

Should be if it has individual reflectors. The bulbs that come with unit will fine for now, but do some research on a better brand for replacement bulbs. I have forgotten the good brands.
