Hey guys....So I just bought a Condy anemone about a week ago....he seems very healthy, is eating... and finally found the a good spot to settle in (about halfway up my tank on my rock structure)

I currently have a 70 gallon reef tank with the following lighting
-A 48 inch 2 x 54w Solarmax T5 HO fixture with 2 fresh Giessmann tubes in it (1x pure actinic and 1x mid day tube).
-3x 48 inch TrueLumen Pro LED strips (White/blue mix) which put out 30w each. The tank is 24 inches deep.
-Total of 198w or 2.82 w/gallon
-Tank is 24 inch deep and has been established for over a year and a half

Now, while I do have a BTA that hangs out at the bottom of my tank attached to a rock on the sand bed(which has been happy and healthy for about a month now)...I was wondering if you guys think my tank has enough lighting to support a Condy anemone?

Do you guys think this lighting will be sufficient to keep this guy alive? ....Thanks
