I currently have a Current USA Ramp Pro on my 50 gallon bowfront. I keep anemones including a haddoni carpet bubble tips and a mini carpet. I plan to add more bta's and some condy's haitian's soon. So I'm thinking I need to make my lights stronger...or will my lights work just fine? If I do definitely need an upgrade should I go with a Current USA 4126 Orbit Marine IC or a Kessil Deep Ocean Blue A150W Led? It seems like the Current USA would provide more light coverage, but idk.
 
Thought about one of the Orphek or ReefBrite Bars? Added the RB XHO kits to 2 of my Gen4 XR15s and love the added color.
However if you’re keeping anemones happy with what you have I wouldnt see a huge need for another light, unless you needed more front to back coverage for the planned additions.
 
For a 50g you'd need at lease one 360WE/X/NE, depending on your dimensions. The 150 won't be strong enough. My nems moved around quite a bit in search of better lighting when I had my current usa marine IC setup. Once I changed they settled down.

I'm planning on keeping my current lights too. I'm just going to add a second light.
