My anemone isnt light deprived. my ex roomate has a 140 with an anemone the size of a adult humans head with 3-4" tenticles that was only 1/8th the size when i moved in with him about 1.5 years ago and a few months before i got the anemone i have now. hes running two 250w mh and 8 pc. the anemone i have was about quarter size and was in a 12 gallon nano before it got a few inches then xplanted to a 135 where its put a few more inches on and its base is about as thick as a hotlink.
If you feed them quality food and keep them under a good light with clean water there isnt much to them. Just because i havent had it for more than two years doesnt mean its not doing well.
Ive seen people in my area do things with t5's alone that most cant do with quality HM systems. If you feel its a must have to own hm's then by all means drop the coin and enjoy your tank.
