Rusty,
you will have many choices available to you regarding lighting. This is one of those topics similar to religion, politics, or gun control, meaning people have some VERY definite opinions on this subject and some really don't like to hear opposing viewpoints.
Here is a link to the RS library forum on lighting. There is a TON of information there. Unfortunately, alot of it reads like chemistry textbooks I had in school. Wade through it all, and you'll have a better idea of whats out there and why.
I have personally never really been fond of any of the LFS in my area w/ regards to their advice on lighting. I have almost always noticed that the Be-all-End-all lighting to have (according to them) happens to be sitting on their shelf....on sale.
Currently there are basically 3 types of lighting out there right now. Metal halide, Power compact (PC for short), and VHO (Very High Output...flourescent). All have their benefits and all have their drawbacks. You will hear many people state that MH is the only way to go if you want to keep anything other than mushrooms. This isnt true. Many people wind up using a combination of the three. (There is a 4th type of lighting, T5, but its rather new and to be fair I really don't know that much about it.) I like running Mh's and VHO....thats just me. you need to decide what you want to keep and get the necessary lighting. One piece of advice though....this stuff is expensive. So do some serious thought to what you want, and purchase accordingly. If you think you want to keep SPS and Clams some where down the line...buy the right lighting for it the first time, or purchase lighting that can be upgraded to what you want easily. Its cheaper than buying all of that, deciding you want something that requires different lighting, scrapping what you had, and buying new stuff.
Okay, the bad news.....Anemones are probably one of the toughest animals to keep, and sooo many people try to keep them right away, have bad experiances, (and kill the anemone...which I suppose is a bad experiance for it), and get discouraged.
Here is a link to a page w/ a few anemone links and information on them. Important ones to read are the "Host anemones" article by Wilkerson, and "keeping anemones," by Toonen. This isnt exactly encouraging material...be forewarned.
But before you go getting all discouraged, it can be done. I've got a Long Tentacled Anemone that I've had for about 7-8 months now, and its doing fine. Keep in mind that most anemones require high levels of light similar to SPS and clams...
Hope all this helps.....
