good for anemones?

[hecdr34]

I'm in the process of setting up a 75g FOWLR but I also want some anemones. Would this be enough light for any type of anemones? if so, which ones?

48" T5HO T5 Aquarium Light Cichlid T-5 Reef Lighting
2x 54W T5 12000K bulb, 2x 54W T5 Actinic Blue True 03 bulb, 4x Bluemoon Double LED

Thanks you in advance

Four 54w T5 HO fluorescents should be adequate for a BTA (bulb tip anemone) Entacmaea quadricolor in that tank. You should wait at least six months after setting up your new tank before purchasing any anemone. You can read about anemone care in this article.

I wouldn't get any of the carpet anemones for a 75-gal tank because they get too large and they require strong light.

The most obvious clownfish species for a BTA would be Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus); however, they can be aggressive. If you want something less aggressive, try a pair of Ocellaris Clownfish (aka False Percula Clowns) Amphiprion ocellaris. They will usually accept a BTA as a surrogate host even though it's not a natural association. True Percula Clowns (A. percula) usually do not accept BTAs as a host.

You can find a complete list of all the different clownfish that naturally associate with BTAs here. That's a complete eBook online. Check it out. It's FREE!
