I was wondering if you guys think i have a enough lighting for a white bubble tip anemone. i have a 125g with a 95w and a 65w pc lights they are 36'' and 30'' respectively. im not really sure why its like that, the guy i bought the tank from had it that way and i never changed it. anyway what do you guys think?

Maybe I read somthing wrong, but from the recomendations of the people who have helped me in the past, everything I've read, and my own little bit of experience... I would probably say.. DEFENIETLY NOT.

From what I've seen, If they are white then they are about to die. My LFS gets them in all the time and most are bleached. They turn so much volume that they dont really give a hoot. Now we have a LFS about an hour away where they are nice and brown, or green or rose. Those are the healthy ones.

Would an anemone be ok for say a month or so under 130w PC lights in a 29gal? after graduation im going to get 150w mh pendant w/ possibly 2 65w pc's. just wondering if i can stop jonesing for one and have it do fine.

I think I would wait till the right time. Once the health of the anemone is compromised it is really difficult for them to bounce back.

coralife 65Wx2 Compact Fluorescent 24" will that work? I have a bubble tip that is bleaching
I ordered new bulbs It has a blue actinic and a white 10K tube.
Is this going to be ok for it
I heard strong moonlights can bleach one too
is this true? I took them off not sure if it helped?

You can use any PC bulbs you want, but IMO they just don't cut it. If it was a shallower tank and you were using 6500k or 10000k, then maybe.
Usually the LED moonlights aren't that strong.
