upgrade needed?

I have a 40g semi-reef tank. When I leave Hawaii I want to keep an anemone and not be limited to what else I can have because of lighting. Right now I have a 192W PC hood made by SouthBay. Will this be adequate for the future? I haven't heard any good reason to switch yet, but have open ears...or should I say eyes? If I changed my lighting I was thinking of a PFO 250W 6500K MH and 2 VHO bulbs, but what kind of VHO bulb would round out my color spectrum and make the tank look the best? Lots of questions already so I'll end this for now. Thanks in advance for all the replies I hope to get.

The new thought on Anemones by both Eric and Dr Ron is that the lighting does not matter as much as almost daily feeding.

Dr Ron has even suggested that you can keep anemones just fine under NO lighting again if you feed enough.

Although personally I must say I like the look of the MH/VHO combo with the VHO bulbs being 03 type bulbs.
