i ordered a new light setup today
its a 30" lunar cur fixture with two bulbs, but each bulb looks like there are two connected together. 2x65w . my ? is will this be good enough for my tank, cause i dont see any other way to get more wattage with only 30" of space. any recommendations would be helpful.

Try a search for the pics. What type of Anemone are you keeping?
IMO MH works best for Anemone but your PC might be OK with a Bubble Tip.

IME an anemone wouldn't work under that light. I almost lost my RBTA because of lack of lighting, and I had the same setup as you ordered. Then I upgraded to metal halides and it looks much better.
It's better to do research before buying.

In my experience my anemones did better under VHO..wel the BTA's at least, if you are going to keep ritteris or something else I would not even attempt it with out MH's. Also feeding an anemone is just as important as lighting. There are some people who think feeding is actually more important than light...I have not made up my mind on that argument.
i've never intentionaly bought a condi so I am not sure exactly what light they require.
