first i am new and am learning on the fly,i have a 90 gl with 2 65 watt 10000k and 2 65 actinic ,some of the anenomes in the tank seem to be fine some seem to be ok then after about three weeeks seem to go down hill now is the lighting the biggest concern because i can buy whatever light i need but the lfs told me this light is good enough but after researching i think that may not be the cause,water quality seems good nitrate under 20 ,salinity is 1.23 not sure if this is good enough ph and ammonia are good have skimmer what can i do to increase the survival rate i also have not been acclimating which i realize is an important part but will be from here on out CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP TIRED OF PISSING MONEY AWAY

salinity needs to be around 1.025. lighting is probably the problem. you need strong lighting. nitrates need to be as close to zero as possible. how long has your tank been set up?

I just want to be clear, are we talking one anemone at a time or multiple species?
What exact type are we talking about?
On a 90 gallon I would have more lights, it being a 24 inch deep tank it calls for 250 watt metal halides. I use 440 watt VHO and 2-250 watt MH on my 90 gallon. MY BTA's seem happy.

Lighting is probably a huge part of it, but how many species of anemone at one time do you have? If more than one specie is in the tank, there would be another problem.
