I use 1 Fluval marine 3.0, an older Fluval marine 1.0 & 2 T8's (1-Power-Glo T8 & 1-Marine-GLO T8)

I wanted to get an anemone but I heard these lights aren't strong enough so I was hoping if I got two that might be strong enough. Very cool toadstool!! Have one as well but small.

If you have 2 of the 3.0 versions, you will be fine with anemones. I had my nem and toadstool under the the older Fluval and they did good. But due to the increase in coral I have gotten, I needed more light.

Just the 3.0, the other lights I manually shut off and on, I turn on all lights around 8 am, and switch the older Fluval LED to blue at 6pm and the T8's off at 8 pm.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

My light layout:
--Marine-GLO T8 & Power-Glo T8 on the left
--fluval marine 3.0 in the middle
--fluval marine 1.0 on the right

So when u turn on the older Fluval Light at 8 a.m what settings do u use?

It's just a switch on the side, all lights on or blue only. At 8am it's all lights on until 6pm, then blue only until 12 midnight, then I turn them off until morning

Ok thanks!
