I have a 46 gal bow front tank. It is currently a FOWLR tank but after it matures, I want to add some coral and anemones. I have been using the standard lighting that came with the tank but I am ready to upgrade my lighting now. I was thinking about buying the Coralife Lunar Aqualights. It has 2-96 watt bulbs and 2-3/4 watt moon lights. Is this enough lighting for corals and anemones?
 
imo i have 4 65w pc lights 2 actinics and 2 10k and its not enough

i need 2 175 metal halide and 2 110w vho to accomplish what i have and want to get some corals and anemones. i tried with my pc setup with a bubble tip and carpet . after about 5 months they just went away and died

HTH
 
If it was me I would go with one 175w 10k metal halide. and 2 96w. or 2 110 hvo's 1 white and 1 blue.
