Read a positive review on this one but here are my questions for it:

Will it penetrate 2 feet deep of water.

How many of these lights will I need for a 5 ft 125 gallon.

And is it strong enough to grow anemones such as long tentacle and bubble tip.

I have a 125 gallon tank with 3 Viparspectra 165s on it. They will support corals and anemones. I have a Magnifica anemone and it is huge!

Viparspectra are great lights!!! I would say run 3 of them and you will definitely have no dead spots and no issue with light penetration to the bottom. I had them over a SPS dominate tank with LTA with no issues.

They are easy to work on if you would happen to have a bulb go out on you or would want to change bulbs to achive different color. I modified all of my Viparspectra to only have 6 whites down the center.
