Can I Do This?

I have a 55 gallon tank, 48 x 12 x 20... I currently have Coralife power compact 4 x 65w 50/50 in use, I do have the room so can I add 2 x 54w HO T5's or 4 x 54w HO T5's. Will this be enough light for an anemone (sebae). The 2 x 54w would fit a little better.

 

If I were you I would just save my pennies and get a 6 bulb t5 fixture.

 

i already have the coralife fixture, i've had it for years, just wondering if i can add on.

 

I have two outter orbit PC lights 260 watts each 520 total on my 90 gallon and my anemone has been doing great. Doubled in size in the past year. Tomato clown hosting it for a year now as well.

 

What I mean is that I think you would have better luck saving up to replace your whole fixture. I'm not sure if adding two t5s would cut it and I don't believe that you'd have room to add 4. I think it would be in the anemone's best interest to get a 6x54 t5 fixture.

 

I feed silversides once a week and DT's two times a week.

 

you would be better of ditching the pc's and going with a 4 or 6 light t5's ho fixture. there are a few people here that keep anemone under a 4 light t5 with great success.

 

RHorton, I see you use a seaclone, any luck with it? Mine sucks, thinking about changing.

 

lol ...yeah but I had to do this to it:
