i dont think that will be enough light for an anemone. i think on my 35 gallon my 117 watts of t5 ho are minimally adequate for an anemone. not that i would get one anyways, since the bta get really big, likely more than half of my 3 foot tank...

I think it would also be iffy, the t-5's seem to be a good solution if you don't want to make the MH jump.

something like this would be cool but not sure what you want to spend.

I think the shrooms would be fine but the anemone might be iffy. Do a search for some t-5 lighting, Power Compact might be ok also but I am really not sure. I don't think VHO's are going to work for you. If you kill your anemone in that size tank, it's really going to flood your tank with bad stuff. Not a lighting expert here so do some more reading and get some differnent opinions. Maybe do a search for Anemone lighting and see what pops up.
Good luck.
