Keeping a Carpet Anemone Requirements

[jesse!]

Hey, I wanted to know the specific requirements and needs of the Atlantic Carpet Anemone so it can live happily in my tank.
For better understanding I have a 29 gallon reef with a 55 gallon canister filter, 130 watt coralife light fixture (4.5 watts/gallon), and around 30 lbs. of liverock (another 20 lbs. to come). It's been up for about 6 months now and I wanted to get this anemone for a while for my perc.
Is my lighting strong enough for this Anemone?
Is my biological and mechanical filtration good enough?
Will I need to buy something for better water flow?
How much lighting a day is needed?
How often do you feed?
Thanks for all your posts!

I never feed my carpet anemone -- and I had him orginally under PC lighting. Anemone's can be touchy to various tanks.. some people have no luck, others can't kill them (like me).
I've been trying to give mine away locally and of course non of the reefers want him due to the fear of him moving and rearranging/stinging coral.
My clown hosts a cave and not my anemone -- he's big, takes up a corner I can't clean and I blame him for a few fish deaths but he's pretty.

Haha! thats too bad for you fish. I know how it is I don't think I could get rid of my perc for how much damage he has done.
