I have a 48 * 13 * 20 55 gal tank. I currently have 130 watts from a
customsealife smartlite. I am interested but not locked in to the idea of
getting an anemone. Anyone know about what types would be appropriate with
this amount of light, or how much more light I might need?

I believe you'd need to double your lighting to be able to provide enough
lighting for an anemone.

hey some of those green temperate/warm temperate anemones are really cool looking, plus a
condy at least has some color to it.

Admittedly, my first anemone was an impulse buy many moons ago, but that
damn thing must have split 4 times.
