Hello Every one,
few months back I bought a long tentacle anemone for my 75 Gal reef. It was doing great untill the last two weeks it has stopped eating and the colour has turned into white. After doing some research I came to know that the anemone is bleaching to death. everything seems well in my tank except the anemone.. please help...

And WELCOME to the board!

I have two 48 watts T5 VHO, 2 Acrylics..
Filteration- Sump- Bioball, sponge, 1000l Resun Skimmer, 2500 L/H Pump, Geolite.
Flow- 2 sun sun 3000 L/h Wavemaker, higherflow at the upper level, midium at the base where the anemone in.
Ph-8.3, Ntrt-0.00

Are the T5s being overdriven by an IceCap ballast or are they really HO?
I'm not familiar with "2 Acrylics". Is that a type of lighting?
The 75 is a pretty tall tank. My initial thought is that your environment for the Anemone is fine except for lighting. If the Anemone is at the bottom where LTs like to stay then it is probably receiving insufficient light.

I wonder if the op is refering to actinics instead of acrylics.

But My anemone is not eating, what i learned after doing some research is that, if it is bleached then it wont be able to photosynthesise so more regular supply of additional food is required to make it strong but last night when I gave it a raw shrimp at first it held the shrimp with its tentacles but after few moment it pushed away the food... if this goes on like this and its not eating then I fear it wont last very long... the water temperature is 26 degree C, Nitrt - 0.00, with 2 48 Watt T5 HO and 2 Actinic of 36 watts. please help....

Still think you dont have enough light to sustain one long term in your tank. Your actinics are under sized and even if they werent a four bulb T5 set up unless you have good reflectors is still pushing it. You have two T5 and two power compact bulbs. A better light would be like a six bulb fixture.
The anemone is slowly wasting away and probaly in ots death throws now. Thats probably why ot wont eat. Just my thoughts.
