36"s too deep for anemones under 400mh?

I am looking to upgrade to a 350 that is 36 inches deep. My current tank is 30 inches deep and every thing is great. other than i wont be able to reach the bottom. do you see any other problems with a tank this deep? will 400watt MHs reach the bottom enough for anemones? 72x36x30 sps on top and middle lps and zoos scattered up and down and bubble-tip anemones on the bottom.

If you have luminarc or luminbrite style reflectors you will be fine.

Anemones will move it isn't. They will find light and flow they like. After you move them watch them closely or you may lose corals.
