since I can't use the search feature due to bandwidth issues, I'm going to ask what you guys think of these lights before I buy them. thanks. I'm going to add this to my established 55 ga. so I can keep anemones and polyps.

Anenomes and polyps should work under this light. If you waited and saved a little more, you should go with a T5 set up from www.reefgeek.com You would have alot more success with a T5 instead of PC's

IMHO

Those lights are a good setup, known company. Shouldn't have any problems with them. Very nice price also.
4.7 W/gal; should be able to keep polyps, shrooms, most LPS, low lighting SPS, and softies with good water quality.

I got mine yesterday they are a good buy alot better then Jebo or Odyssea lights. As far as keeping anemones I don't wouldn't try it. But overall I am pleased with them.

dont waste your time with powercompact get a tek light t5 you will be able to keep any corals
powercompacts are really not ok for anemones
watts per gallon is not a real number its kind of light that matters
