Can i put 150 watt bulbs in there and use both lights. Also if i removed the brace and replaced it with acrylic could i do it while there is water in the tank?

SO i have a 46 gallon bowfront with live rock and refugium running right now and before I get any coral I wanted to get some sugestions on whether or not i should keep an Anenome or not? I hear if they find a good spot they wont harm anything but on the other hand they can move around alot...

Not sure where online but my LFS sells them.. ther're pretty new but i would just search wavepoint lights online
