Carpet anemone lighting.

I have a carpet anemone in my 90 gal. currently and I would like to put it in my 55 gal. for a species only tank. I am currently running a 400 watt metal halide light and 4 65 watt PC lights. Would the carpet be ok in a 55 gal. with only 4 65 watt PC lights?

 

Im thinking prolly not....i think most will agree, maybe im wrong but i had no success with an bta in a 29 with 130 watts of pc

 

i have a green carpet anemone in my 55 gallon with 4x65 watts pc's and he is doing fantasic and has grown.

 

How long have you had it in there?

 

uumm....probably like 3 months or so, but i got it off of someone who had in it a 29 cube, with 130 pc's and he had him for over a year

 

but thats just my experience, many say that they would not survive under anything but mh, but mine has

 

I think the 400w MH would do the trick!

 

It should be O.K I'm sure you will feed it like 99% of all do then its not totally dependent on its internal alga's for sugar carbons .. So lighting be comes a little less important.

 

Thanks Tangster, yea I do feed him everyday or everyother day usually.
