The anenomes may pose a problem depending on species. I belive there are some you may be able to keep. As for stonies you should be able to keep most LPS. Probably no SPS, I have heard of people keeping Montipora but they browned up and definatly wern't thriving.

That would be fine then, with 260 watts. *They way you posted, it sounded like you only had 130w. | |
