A Question bout Anemonies

[lotuskid]

I would like (at sometime) to keep an anemone that hopefully a clown or two would host. From what i've read they seem to need MH lighting, so guessing i'm gonna have to wait till i upgrade the lighting. Question is: are there any anemonies that don't need strong light?

My current lighting is 2x 36w PC White/White & 2x 36w PC White/Blue on a 35G tank.

have to admit, the only nem i know that can be kept under PC's are condy's, with success ( well, as best as you can asses success with a nem )

You colwns stand less of a chance of hosting in a condy than some of the other types of nems. There is not a guarintee that he would host in any but condys stand less of a chance than most.

Thanks for the info mate. Think i'm better waiting till i can afford MH. Don't want to put anything in the tank if it's not gonna happy, if you know what i mean.

u can keep a bubble tip under 2x 65 w pcs i did for 2 years and it spit and is doing even better in my 55 under the halide now.
clowns will almost never host condys

So does 4x 36w equal 144w of light or do i only count the white part of the lights? Then it'd only be 108w of white light and 36w of blue light.

So would my lights be enough for a bubble tip? I don't want to get one and cause it to suffer when there is plenty of other stuff that will be quite happy with my available light.
