Lighting question for my fowlr tank

[RClever82]

Well I'm in a pickle again. My 2 year old was helping me with a water change and decided my LED lights needed washed. Needless to say they no longer are functioning. My question is I have 2 shop lights sitting around and a couple T8 full spectrum bulbs 4 total. I have a 90 gallon with just fish and live rock as well as a bubble tip and a condy anemone. I have some extra mylar sitting about from an old project, if I lined the inside of the shop lights for added reflection would that be enough light to keep my anemones healthy for a month or two till I can replace me led lights.

Afraid not.... 'nems are high light critters, and T8's aren't nearly powerful enough.

You no longer have a FOWLR. The day you added the photosynthetic creatures, you gained a "reef". That said, I agree with Phranque. Strong lighting is a priority.

There better than nothing right now but in my opinion your nem health will start deteriorating so you should make that purchase as fast as possible. I know how it is nothing breaks down when you have the money to replace it.

I don't know if a 4 bulb is going to do it. You have a pretty tall tank.
