regular NO flourescents arent going to help much at all...Try and get some more PC....
I dont normally reccomend getting an anemone with anything less than MH but if you are set on moving to a bigger tank...good luck

The problem is that lower intensity lights like NO are not able to transmit usable light as deep in the water as higher intensity lights like MH. Is the 75 deeper from top to bottom than the 55? If it is, you probably wouldn't be helped much by another PC strip, let alone the NO lights that come with the tank. Tell your mom if she wants a 75 she may have to choose between upgraded lighting or the anemone.
