Thanks both for the input.

tomterreefic - is that on your 30, 24 or 10 gal? How tall is the one you have your maxima in...? My 75 is ~18-20 inches tall.

Cheers

Yeah, I'll probably switch to 250 HQIs when my ballasts go out on me. That way I can switch around bulbs and not worry about it.

Thanks all for the input.

I think you are good to go. The XM 250s 10Ks have awesome PAR. I have mine about that high with 150 HQI XM 10Ks.

I wouldn't worry a bit, though opinions may differ from others.

Well, I currently run 150 watt XM HQI (double ended) bulbs (and 2xVHO actinics), and I'm considering a switch from 10,000K to 15,000K - staying with XM. I've read through much of the online material...

Yes, MJI is correct and, if I am not mistaken, of the azooxanthellate variety.

You'll need to target fed this anemone small food items - chopped mysis, enriched brine, other small meaty foods.

10-12 hours is pretty standard, but what you are describing, filling and deflating with water, sounds like normal.

Anemones are little more that sacks of water with a primitive nervous system. ...
