Watts

I currently have one 14 watt 10,000 K daylight T5 fluorescent light and one 14 watt blue T5. Is this enough lighting for a 16X24 20 gallon tank to keep an anemone? I really don't think it is but I'm not sure. Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't risk it. I surely have seen anemones do well under MH. I think the light is not strong enough. Just my opinion.

Yeah I didn't think so. Would easy to keep corals work alright? Soft corals for instance.

Which measurement is how tall the tank is? If its the 16" then possibly shrooms, and zoa's. If its any other measurement then IMO no still not quite enough.

If you were running high-output T5, then yes, but the 14 watters aren't.
