<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Victor, how is 4 T8 bulbs on a WH 7 overdriven? I could see if you were only using 2 bulbs and doubling up on the wires, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't using one wire for bulbs is the normal NO configuration?
Andrew, the MH sugestion was based on the desire to have an Anemone I have read that article that feeding is more imortant than light, but the fact remains that it seams the most sucessfull people with Anemone all sugest the most important factor is the lighting.
Having said that, Tigger the other way to do it is like I am.. go with your NO bulbs on the workhorse 7, if you find they are not enuf then buy a couple 96 watt PC's ( if you go with two WH7's you could start off with 4 NO T8 daylight bulbs and 4 actinic if this isn't enuf then switch the 4 day light bulbs to the two 96 watt 6700K PC's. And then IF you decide you want to get the big light idems you could add MH bulbs one at a time as you can aford it.
what I am doing is simular as I am starting off with PC's and NO's then adding the MH when my tank is ready for creatures that require the high light.
