Mik is right. You will need about twice as much light for anemones (around 8 watts per gallon). That will be okay for most low-light corals, though. But not enough for SPS corals, clams, or anemones.

Since you want to keep anemones,This may be a better choice for the money. Biff used to run the 4 bulb version on her 55,and I have the 8 bulb. We both have kept anemones and sps under them. My sps grows like crazy under that light. Founder of the P.E.T.C. People for the ethical treatment of crabs

Here's the deal!
The only company that I know of that sells T6 is Odyssea.If thats the case,I wouldn't get that fixture.Bulb replacement maybe difficult because I'm not even sure T6 and T5 bulbs are interchangeable.I think it should be good for soft and LPS corals.I doubt anemones,SPS,and clams will live long term.

T5 and T6 bulbs are NOT interchangeable... So Freak has a good point, that will be really hard to find bulbs for.
