How much light do Anenomes require?

[Puff]

so you wouldnt need 2 MH bulbs? thank god!lol

now its time to try to track some down.

what's the best way to mount them over the tank? or is it best to just build them into the canopy? the heat created is a concern. and im not so sure about the best way to control the heat in the summer. i dont WANT to have to buy something to help cool the water, but if its needed, then so be it

A couple of well placed fans blowing on the water surface will help increase evaporation and in turn lower the water temp.

I'm surprised nobody has asked what kind of anenome?

[Puff]

lol...

umm...i dont know what kind of anenome...

what are the kinds that the clownfish like to play in?lol

(im still learning here!lol. im good with my large south american cichlids, but am still learning all my different marine bits and pieces )

Bubble tip anemones (BTAs) and Long Tentacle anemones (LTAs) seem to be the best in terms of surviving in captivity. However, not every clownfish has watched "Nemo" and so some don't realize they're expected to host in an anemone.

lol. i know THAT much (that clowns dont necessarily like anenomes). i was just saying "the ones that clownfish like" because those are the ones that i really like the look of.

i know that a lot of clowns are born in captivity, and many will have never even seen an anenome before.hehehe

If you get clowns that don't like anenomes............... They'll just host one of your corals or even a powerhead.
