lighting questions

[sjkarrow]

so i have upgraded lights on my 29 gallon tank, and am currently running 2 T5 link fixtures (96watts). I have a long tentacle anemone currently in the tank and he is doing perfectly fine.
my fish store is having a 65% off sale soon and i can have a few different anemones ordered for me, for the sale. i am hoping for either:
Rose Bubble Tip or Purple Long Tent
either 1 i will be fine happy with getting, i kno rbta's require high light, but didn't know if 96watts (3.3 watts per gallon) would be truly enough to satisfy one.
thanks

I dunno about the lighting. I recently upgraded to a 4 bulb T5HO setup on my tank.. and my RBTA actually went into hiding because of it. I have 4 39 watt bulbs though, as I went with the 36" wide so I would have 0 lighting deadspots. I would think 4 T5HO is fine, but I have read most people recommend 6 or MHs *shrug*. Like I said though, mine went into hiding after changing from 2 to 4. I was even going to keep the other 2 on the tank and do 6.. but apparently it didn't even like the extra light it got from 4 lol.
Guess I should also add I have a 29 gallon with a RBTA
