Led lights and Bubble tip Anemone
 

Currently I have the new Fluval marine and reef full spectrum leds, I want to get an Anemone for my 35G. Should I change my lighting for a higher intensity leds? If so what do you recomend.

Im currently running a 25G sump with 0 phosphates, nitrates and ammonia. Ph is 8 and temperature is 79-80 degrees. My tank has been running for about 6 months. Salinity is 1.025 with an ATO working.

I have some gsp and green mushrooms in my tank.

Thank you.

Which model of light specifically, i.e. how many LEDs and watts? 46 watts appears to be the highest power Fluval marine full spectrum that I could find on the web. That's a bit on the low side for a BTA I would think. Having said that, in my 77 gallon Hagen tank I had my BTA under a Hagen Glo 36" T5HO 2 lamp fixture for quite a few months until increasing the light intensity substantially. It did ok, but didn't really thrive. Once I added a couple of 250 watt MH lights, it was clearly doing way better. Now, after a couple of years under 27 multi chip 10 watt LEDs, it's doing famously. So that's over 200 watts as opposed to the most powerful Fluval Marine at 46 watts.

Mike, thank you. Here is a link for the light I currently have on my aquarium.

Hmm, 25 watts of LEDs, 24 inch light. Pretty sure that's not going to cut it for a bubble tip anemone in a 35 gallon tank. How tall is the tank? I'm afraid that even with that light very close to the water, those LEDs won't have the intensity you need to keep a BTA healthy. Plenty of higher power choices out there or if you're handy you could go DIY. Link to my build using 10 watt emitters is below.

So i have changed my lights to the maxspect R420R 120 W. They are great lights. Right now they are at 48 %. Increasing by 5 every week.
