Lighting questions! Help please

[10galclowns]

I have a standard marineland 10 gallon tank. I have these lights on it now

I'm wanting to upgrade to LEDs. What is a good led lighting I can get that will work good for my anemone? I think the reason why my bta won't color up is because of the lights. Please let me know what LEDs I can get for my tank that will help my anemone out! Thanks so much reefers!

As I said in your other posts -- I know nothing about LEDs.

However, remember that lights aren't the only reason --- 2 anemones in a 10 gallon with no skimmer/sump is playing a role in this too -- moreso than you might think.

About 10 years ago I did E. quadricolors in a 10, and I had 96 watts of PC (( quad bulb )) over it -- it was not worth the effort, had too many water quality issues. At this time I had already been keeping anemones for 10 years.

So what do you think I should do? And I'm taking the small rosé out soon

you should start testing for things. With out tests you don't know much about your water. Trex could be right, but Trex could be wrong too. I tend to agree that's not low light IMHO and should be enough. You might think about getting a hob fuge and skimmer, but again, with out testing you don't know.

I have a bio cube protein skimmer which I hooked up last night and woke up this morning and its was skimming like crazy

 

[planereefer]

So after the skimming, have you tested your water at all?

Has things improved?

Yeah the tank cracked and everything is in my 30 gallon. So far the 30 gal has been doing awesome!
