the more lighting the better, and you need a lot of flow. i am running a 150 MH on my 29, its new so i am not to sure how my BTA likes it but i had 2 96w PC in it before and that was just enough. but that is why i started reefing, i LUV anemone. also your tank should be at least 4 months old


_________

29 gal/ 10gal refugium with more things then I have space to list.
with a 7gal sea horse tank slowly in the works

T8's are no good for reef and will sustain nothing - you need T5's or MH
