    I am planning to buy a 250w MH light for my 65g tank. One of the invertebrate I'm planning to keep are softies and anemone. The tank has been running for 10 months now, and I would like to know if this is enough light for the anemone.

    That should be plenty of light for the tank. If it has a cross bar in the middle you might want to go with two of them so there is not a shadow.

    Depends on the Nem I would think and be to much for some softies.
