Hi,
well it depends what you want to keep really. THe best thing lighting you can get is probably 2x250 or 2x400-watt MH's with either 6500K Iwasaki with 4x110-watt VHO powered by an IceCap 660 with either 2 or 4 actinics depending on how blue you like, or a 10000K German bulb with or without VHO again depending on your preference. However, for most things 2x175-watt MH's would be fine, it may be a good idea to get some supplemental VHO as well just to give it a bit more power. I've got a Heteractis magnifica anemone under 400-watt MH's and he loves it.
The best place to buy these is either of the following. Jason at Premium Aquatics is definitely very helpful, you could give him a call. www.championlighting.com
