Hey Joe.. where you goin with that gun in your hand? JK... (Jimi Fan) How big is the tank? And how old? Lighting has a lot to do with keeping all those things but so does water quality. Anemones require good lighting and great water conditions. They may look good in your tank for a while but will suffer under poor conditions. Also are we talking a condy or a carpet or a BTA? Shrooms, xenia, and the like are pretty adaptable. 216w on a 55 or 75... your good, on a deep 90 or 110 maybe not. Like I said, water quality is just as important. The old "4-5 watts per gallon" doesnt mean a thing if your water peramaters are off and filtration is subpar or you are overstocked. There are a lot of factors to concider.
