Well..
What par rating are you getting now?.. What PAR are you trying to achieve?.. What are you trying to supplement? What other features would you like in this light? Budget?

If you have it open top and aesthetics are an issue I would add another 26 and turn them to front to back. If you have a canopy than I would add a pair of t5 tubes.

Ya should work perfect for that size. Mines 48" covers 24x24 each but I don't think it's enough because my anemones never close? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I do not keep anemone so I have not researched anything specific to that but are you sure that is what that means? Have they walked further up the rocks to get more light? |
