How Long Should lights be on for Bubble Anemone and acclimating?

[fish33]

I just got an Bubble Anemone. I have 2 65 Watt compacts. Should I start with 1 then turn on the second bulb or put them both on right away. I thought I saw an article on acclimating but couldn't find it again.

How many hours a day should the lights be on?

Thx!

Morning and Welcome to Reefland. I am going to move this thread to the reef aquarium forum where it can get a little more exposure for you.

On that note, it is my opinion that you would be on the lower edge of the lighting required for a BTA.

You need to double that,but for acclimation I would use both of them.
