Last pic is best. Definitely aptasia. You really don't want to be feeding that.

Any idea of what kinda of softies i can get that will work with a 2 bulb t5ho system (im getting a trade for it each bulb is 39w 1 1200k and 1actinic)each with there own reflector and my tank isnt but 18" deep.

LOL, I remember how excited when I saw my 1st aptasia & thought it was a free anemone! That's what the LFS told me I was getting too.

Would any sort of anemone be good in my tank with a Spud and 80w lighting. Im thinking i can get away with some shrooms, maybe some pulseing xenias and a kenya tree but not sure of anything else.

watts really doesnt tell us how effective your lights are at keeping corals, only how much power they consume... Are they screw-in bulbs? powercompacts? T5s? T5s with good reflectors?

I don't see individual reflectors there. It looks like the PC light I recently sold to someone here.

It says individual reflectors but the picture doesnt really show it so im not sure.

Post by **Pufferpunk** » Mon Jul 26, 2010 7:02 pm

It says, "polished individual single lamp reflector" but it looks like only one over both bulbs.

Ahhh ok i misunderstood it. I will probably not get it then especially since im not getting a reply anymore for it.

If you're only looking to keep softie corals, that light should do or even a power compact.

You should get this one... twice the light for about the same price... Still not enough light for anemones if you ask me tho...
