i have a 55 gal berlin system and 4 65 watt metal halide 50/50 bulbs.
my tank is fully cycled (6 months, it took forever)
stock:
magnificent anemone
2 clarkii clowns
some algae eating blenny
cleaner shrimp
and a few bengai

i know it's probably to much but, i want them all. :(
i'll take all the help i can get.

What 50-50 metal halides? you mean power compacts. they don't make a 50 50 MH bulb?

you will be fine with that fish load just have a good skimmer.

6 months to cycle? what the **LL happened?

You don't have "4 65 watt metal halide 50/50 bulbs." You must have PC's? Are they fluorescent? Metal Halides are not. Can we see pics of the anemone? You likely don't have enough light to keep it long term.
