LTA lighting question

[nanahugs]

Hello,
My husband and I have two saltwater fish tanks. One is a 40G tank with live rock, sand, crals and 3.9 watts per gallon of T-5 lighting.
I am posting about our 20G octogonal tank that has a 4" sand bed of ulta fine figi sand and some live rock and two true Percula clownfish, no corals. We had regular lighting in this tank till the salt creep took care of that after a year. We are getting a 150W MH lighting fixture for it now and my husband wants to get an LTA since he raised one for 5 years when he was younger and enjoyed the experience. Did we get enough lighting for this anemone?

Yup. It should do fine.

Lighting yes.
a 20 gallon can be tough to keep an anemone in, however. Anemones need stable water parameters. a 20 gallon might flucuate too much.
Also, realize the anemone will get big.

Thanks Dann, I was hoping so. Now all I have to do is find an LTA. My favorite LFS here in Lexington, Kentucky just closed due to lack of business. Now all we have is an Increipet with very little selection. Luckily I have ordered from this site and been very happy with my purchases. The LTA is currently out of stock, but I am on the wishlist for them.
Thanks for your reply.

Journeyman,
Luckily I have never had a water quality problem in this tank or our larger tank. Besides the clown and a yellow gorgian that loves this tank, there is nothing else in there.

Good to hear.
