    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

    Same reason i started reefing, my tank is a little over a week old so long way to go, just doing my homework, at the moment my tank holds 2x24w T8's whats the highest wattage wise i should use in t8 i was thinking a uri actinic white & blue?

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

    binggo!!

    but to warn you, you do have some waiting to do, before you get any anemones, or anything for that matter. waiting is the hardest part of being a reefer!! i hate it...
