I have 55 gallon tank(48"L x 12"d x 20"h). What would be the best lighting to get. I am currently looking at T5 but not sure how many lights ,watts or types. Would i need additional lighting for a bubble tip?

55 is deep tank for surface area. I would think at least 4x54wt T5 min. and probably 6 for Anemone if it is near the bottom. 4 would probably be OK if it were to stay near top, but that is doubtful.
Well, 4x54 might actually be enough if they had individual reflectors.
Little confusing though your post. Title>Zoa lighting but you ask about BTA.
