Will this light do the job?

[staylor21]

Hi everyone. Well I have an important question that needs to be aswered and it has to do with this light I recently got. I have a 55 gallon saltwater and I am planning on getting about three corals and two anemones. I recently recieved this light from this guy who is moving away and I wanted to know if it is going to be strong enough to keep the corals and anemones alive. I believe that is it is a brandless light but is quite strong and I just wanted to get someone elses opinion on it. Thanks and here are the specs:

I didnt know HO came in t-6s. Are you sure it isnt T-5?
It doesnt sound like it would be enough for anemones. LPS and softies yes.
And Welcome!

Odyssea has a T6 fixture. Like T5s, they are best if they have individual reflectors. The biggest problem will be finding bulbs, however. Very few manufacturers are producing T6 bulbs with the kelvin ratings that we typically use.

There's an outfit called full spectrum lighting or natural lighting dot com that has some funky T5/T6 hybrids that are basically a T5 lamp with T6 ends on them. They may have some better lamp colors.
I wouldn't try an anemone under them PERIOD. Not strong enough without parabolic reflectors for each lamp.

so pretty much if I do put two anemones under this light the anemones would die?......if yes, any recommendations on what I can put under this light that will seed three clowns and will this be enough for inverts???
