anemonies

[jonesy99]

Is an anemonie a coral, and does it require.specific lighting?

 

[Rutrag]

Anemones are not coral, but most of the ones we like to keep are photsynthetic and therefore do need high intensity lighting.

How big is your tank and what kind of light do you have?

 

[melosu58]

Anenomes are actually inverts. Most need high amounts of lighting. There are some that can handle moderate lighting.

I want to get a 100+ish litre tank, an i think regular flourescent

 

[jonesy99]

So which could i consider

 

[Rutrag]

Unfortunately, a regular output (probably 20 watt T8 or T12) bulb will not support photosynthetic inverts. If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking at a 4 bulb T5 HO lamp if you were set on an anemone or other corals.

From what I've heard and read up on the 4 bulb t5 fixtures ae a great start for a lot of corals and should be good for an anemonie.

I agree that will not work. Regular flourecents will not work for anenomes. The T5HO was a good suggestion.
