measure the length and width including the plastic brace around the top and 12 inches high a couple of fans would be a good idea your probably gonna get some flak fore keeping the anemone with the setup you have good luck

A 55 gallon tank can be many different sizes/shapes. You will have to measure the top, length by width. Make the canopy 12" tall if you want metal halide lights.

She said the anenome was big, must be ok, lets lay off.
