I got a 55 gallon tank came with the light set up, was just wondering can I just buy some better bulbs or do I need to buy a hole new light set up, I want a anenome and I know they need good light so wasnt sure if I could just buy some better bulbs without changing the hood or will better bulbs produce to much heat for the hood I have

You are going to need a new set up as good bulbs won't fire without the proper ballast.They also need to be placed higher than your standard set-up.Metal halides and VHO actinic combo will be best for an anemone.I would recommend 175 halides for your tank.You will need them to be at least 8-10" above the water.Fans will also be needed...your best bet is to invest in a canopy.
