Is this enough lighting?

[mryoung7]

I've been using the SmartPaq 40w PC for about four years in which time I've kept a healthy bubble tip anemone for three of those years. Just recently gave it away. I keep the lights on 8.25 hours per day.
I want to add some zoos and shrooms and I'm wondering if my existing bulbs are sufficient or if I should replace the bulbs with 65w PC (aren't they interchangeable?).
I have a 29 gallon vertically-oriented (hexagonal) tank with more than enough live rock, good current, & perfect levels for corals. Thanks in advance for your advice!

If you could keep an anemone under those lights then you can defintly keep zoo's and shrooms.

keep em (perhaps change the bulbs). going from 40w to 65w isn't going to make a bunch of difference.

thank you very much. how do you feel about ricordea under these lights? also, this setup has a built-in moon light led. i have it taped over because i had a suspicion it was so bright that it kept my anemone slightly open at night. any pros or cons with corals?

If want to change bulbs. In a of fixture watts have to match with yr ballast or the old bulb. Wat u can change is yr kelvin rating which is the colorntemp of the bulb. I'm actually suprised u kept an anemone happy with that light. I guess zoa and shroom would be fine.
