Hi,
So what kind of lighting would be adequate for a 55gal hex that will eventually have soft corals and a bubble tip sea anemone? The tank is around 20" high so should 100W do it?

I also have an 85 gallon tank and i have 3 48" 54W day bulbs and 1 48" antic bulb totaling around 200 watts. Is this enough if I want to add more light sensitive animals? I do have a condy anemone and soft corals that all seem to be ok with the set up. Thanks.
