Anemone question please help

I would like to keep a BTA in my 90 gallon reef. I have about 110 of live rock 20 gallon sump with turboflotor 1000 skimmer. the tank has been set up for 9 months and the water quality is excellent. I have alot of mushrooms, leathers,sun coral, zoos, xenia, and monti cap. My lighting is 4x96 pc- Do you think I can sucessfully keep a BTA under these conditions? Would daily feedings make up for not having Halides?

You should have no prob w/ BTA, no extra feedings needed.

Mine is under T5 and they're doing just fine. Just need to watch for the water quality.
