HI I have 260 power compact lights. Is it possible that I can have any type of hosting anemone for my clowns?

If I must absolutely upgrade I wont be doing so until about august. And I would be getting a 216 watt t5 setup. Would that be strong enough for an anemone?

What size tank?

What color temp are the bulbs?

Its a 60 gallon tank and the bulbs are two actinic 03 420nm's and two 10000k bulbs.

The only one that I would consider would be an BTA (( E. Quadricolor )), and I would change out one of the actinic bulbs for either a 50/50 or another 10,000K.

Thats awesome because I wanteda buble tip anemone. That is what bta stands for right? Does that include a rose bta?

Wattagewise, that sounds ok for a BTA, but I agree with Toddrtrex that more 10k would probably up your chances.

Yep, color won't matter for light requirements.

Cool I'm excited now to know that I might have a chance at keeping a bta for my clowns.
