I disagree! I have had anemone's in my 29 with 130 watts pc's before. You could add a third light to supplement to be on the safe side if you are worried but I wouldn't replace the whole system but you should be fine if you have reflectors..

that is exactly how much wattage i have going on, what do mean adding a third light though? how is this possible and what would u recommend? i would like to add something to be on the safe side if possible, what would u recommend on this?

I had a sebae anemone in the 29 for almost a year and then I sold the tank and livestock because I was moving to go in the air force. It was always beautiful and healthy, the reason that amount of lighting is sufficient in the 29 is because the tank is pretty shallow and the anemone will stay about half way up the tank. Weekly target feedings helped too. As long as each bulb has it's own reflector on the 29 I don't see a problem.
Although after talking to people on this site and objectively looking at my 260 watts of pc lighting on my 90 gallon I realize it's not enough. My corals are slowly withering away and drooping. I will be ordering a 6 bulb t5 set up asap.
You can order a single bulb kit for the pc's or you can buy a single bulb t5 kit for the additional light. Either one will be about $80. If you like send me a pm and I'll help with that light or I can sell you another 130 watt pc after I upgrade the 90....my dad is buying the other 130w from me for his 29.

Yeah i would like to add suplemental lighting to this if possible, gbta anemone is looking good i think, a bit bleached, but somewhat recovering and looking better, how many times feeding a week would u suggest? also, corsonk@student.gvsu.edu is my email if u would like to further negotiate with selling that lighting
