ok heres the thing ive basically just started my tank. it been running very good for 4 months now. I have a 150 gallon tank but by the time i figure in the rock and the sand i basically have 100 gallons of water in the tank. My lighting is a Coralife 4x65watts 10000k i need to know if that is good enough for some corals and also if its ok for the anemones that i have in the tank now. i have 1 RTBA and 1 LPTA (host to two clowns) and 1 carpet anemone

Hmm . . . 4x65 PC lighting may not be enough for that large of a tank . . . especially not for anemones. I'd either add more PC's (last choice), or switch to T5's or halides. Another option would be to only keep low light corals and see how things did . . .

Its definetly under lit for certain LPSs and all SPSs. Most aemones also need strong lighting. Increase or upgrade.
