lighting and carpet anemones

[herzlos]

I have a tank that is 72" long 12" deep will 2 T-5 individual German mirror polished aluminum reflectors on them. Would that be enough light for an Anemone?

What is the depth of the tank?(Top to bottom) Usually carpets need Mh lighting.

 

[herzlos]

its only about 12in deep. maybe 15inches at most from the actually light to the bottom of the tank.

There are a few different species of "carpet" and they have different needs. An S. hadoni could probably be fine in your set up, but I would steer clear of S.gigantea and S.mertensi.

Two won't cut it. You're going to want 6-8 to keep whatever you wanted.
