Hey all,
I have a 55g thats been set up for a little over 4 months and i think its time to start adding corals to the tank. Currently i have a 260watt PC fixture and the tank is 20" deep. I want softies anyway and i think the PCs should be fine for it, but i was thinking about getting a BTA to house my clowns. Is this lighting good enough for the anemone? I was thinking about upgrading to the 210 watt NOVA T5 fixture. I read the thread comparing the T5 to PCs, i guess my main question is, can my tank house the anemone, and is the upgrade worth it? thanks!
