Trust me, it will die if kept under those lights. T8's arent used by almost any reefers as you would need rows upon rows to sustain even the less light demanding corals. Anemones need the same conditions required for SPS, maybe even better. Why not just wait to upgrade lights before buying it?
And T8s will all be same wattage at same length. Same with VHO and T5 high output. If we could use t8's efficiently, why would we have to buy stronger lights?
