Anemone Lighting

[Pistol Peet]

Im not getting rid of either (I just got both) but for different tanks. Could the coral be fine in the anemone tank or would it be stung?

It could definitely be stung BTA anemone are notorious for moving around the tank if they haven't found a very very happy spot if they come in contact with your Coral they can sting it

For a light in the sump to grow my coral, would an aqueon planted tank light or two be enough?

 

[Pistol Peet]

not v sure on that for coral. plant lights tend to have more red spectrum and coral growth and health tends to be more on the blue spectrum 460 nnm

There are blue lights on it too, and an all blue light mode

Yea just make sure the blue light mode isn't a night mode.

blue is a night mode, but it is still used in the full mode

If it's in the night mode I wouldn't expect you to have the right Spectrum UV violet blue royal blue they are all probably not going to be to the point to where they should be for Coral metabolic health

is there another cheapish light good for a sump

would a coral bulb work?

doing more research on the light, i think ill get an AI prime for more power than 2 kessils and the controllability

i could also move the kessil to the sump

 

[40g Nano]

or is an a360we a better option?

 

[40g Nano]

for the price

It’s either the kessil a360we or AI Hydra 32
