New anemone looking healthy...?

[Bayareareefer18]

14,000 Kelvin’s is 2,000 kelvin’s above minimum for an anemone.

That's color temperature not output

Hopefully it works out for you. good luck with your nem

kelvin is the color temperature rating. I don't know where you got that info, because people have run their tanks for years under 10K "daylight" without any issues.
It has nothing to do with the light power.

Oh ok. How many watts would you recommend?

What is your budget? Lights can be $50 to $1000

Very true I'd consider something like an orphek or reefbrite if you don't want to break the bank but get good quality

BRS often has open box deals on reefbrites

If you don't have a big one, a cheap blackbox LED would work. You could also look at a noopsyche k7 pro, (I personally use these and love them), or even a more expensive option

50 or less preferably. I was looking into just buying another one of the lights I already have. But I’m open to suggestions.

Do you know what the par value is of the light you are using. Light is important for the health of your nem.

You really are not going to find a ok light for under $50.
The cheapest I would suggest is this

you could also get an AI prime.

Second this

Unfortunately, reefing is expensive. You can do it for cheap, but anemones are light hungry.

Lighting is everything to an anemone. Should've invested in a good light and did some research into keeping anemones before getting one.

Although your parameters are stable now, over the next few months your tank is going to go through a ton of changes.
I agree on stronger lighting. How big is the tank ?
If you don’t want to get good lighting than I would give it to a lfs for credit

What does par value mean?

 

[Malifry97]

I’ve decide I’ll be getting two more of the lights I have now this means I will have 72 watts and I’ll be adding another 10 watt strip to that.

How high is the rock work from the light ?

8-10 inches, I may get a hipagero 30 watt light potentially

Follow other people's advice, spend a little more and get decent lights. There is more to lights than K & Watts. Read about PAR and make an effort to understand what you are doing and what your tank inhabitants need to thrive. If you invest in educating yourself and will be able to successfully keep your tank alive, eventually you will spend the money on good lights that are fundamental to a successful tank. I always preferred to buy what is needed once as buying unsuitable equipment multiple times adds to the cost quickly. Good luck

It is a measure of the light output simply speaking. Wattage isn't really an accurate measure with led. If you look up your light on the net there should be some info in par values

I cannot find anything on This lights par value.
