Anemones and light

[jojo22]

I have a 96 watt coralife aqualight on my 10 gal. reef. Is this to much light for a lta.

Thanks Joe

anenomes are pretty light demanding and you have to have excellent water quality!!!! I would do some research on them

[jojo22]

Already did and I have a condy that is doing preaty good. Someone at the lfssaid that my lights might cook them. Just checking with some of you more experienced guys if it was true or not.

think a 250Watt 6500K would be enough light?

Did I read that right... you already have a condi in that tank?

[jojo22]

Yes you read that right. He is doing so good that I picked up another one but I'm not sure about him. He didn't look so good at the store but for $4.00 I figured I'd give him a try.

Condis aren't typically anemones that clownfish host. They're also a dime a dozen. They might sting some corals if they wander around the tank. Some anemones can pack a brutal sting. The LTA I have isn't bad, but the GBTA has a more powerful sting, at least when I've touched them on accident.

If you've got a condi (or two) in the 10 now, I for sure wouldn't add an LTA. Heck, I wouldn't put an LTA in a 10 anyway, even if you didn't have a Condi in there.
