Re: congi anemone

no, just plain ole bulbs you get from walmart, i dont understand it either. the other guy at the LFS has a reef tank and cant keep a rose alive in it and hes got all the good lights, metal halides and such, and Matt, the guy with the fluroscents, keeps all kinds of stuff going. dont know what hes doing, but apparently the SW gods favor this guy.

Re: congi anemone

most nem require about 8w or more most of them need more light than most corals

well, seeing as how i am going to be upgrading to the 120 hopefully in the near future, i dont want to blow a bundle of cash on the 55. so i guess it will just have to wait.

Re: congi anemone

clowns will not always host a nem but carpets are one but they are very hard to take care of even though they say they are one of the easier ones. a buble tip is a good one but even then you never know if a clown will host it. also nems have a record of eating their host fish sometimes.
