Type of lights

I have a 10g fish tank and I want anemones and soft corals but what lights should I use to sustain the anemones and not kill the soft corals

You can use t5 or led that is suitable for invertebrates . The anemone may move around anyway and find its happy place as they tend to do that . Make sure the led isnt too strong . I have a 20g tank with an anemone and soft corals they thrive on t5 2 bulb setup with actinic blue and full spectrum white . Can send you a pic of the setup if you like

Right now I'm using the current USA orbit leds and I like them but I've been reading that anemones take a lot of light and I don't know that when I bought them so I want to upgrade to something more powerful. Do you think the anemones will be fine with the lights I have or do I need better ones.

Led lights are fine as long as the one you bought is suitable for reef use . (Should be in the description ) . T5 lights are really good proven light for invertebrates. What genus anemone do you have ?

Idk what kind it is, but I really want LED if that is possible do you think the hydra 26 HD leds are good for the anemone and the soft corals

 

[Speedy]

Yes its fine . No worries there.

What about these lights they are cheaper so if they work I would rather them AquaIllumination Prime LED Light, Black
