I received a lot of people on reddit saying this 5.2W lamp isn't enough for my tank, tbh I'm a newbie and I'm not sure... So I'm here to ask if it's actually enough for a 40 cube tank or not.

Hey! That little light looks cute but 5.2 watts might be a bit low for a 40-gallon cube, especially if you want a healthy bubble tip anemone since they usually need strong lighting. You might want to check the PAR values and maybe think about adding some more powerful or additional lights as your

5.2w probs too low for 40 cube tbh. You might want more PAR for that anemone!

The species I want to keep: clownfish and bubble tip anemone (the easiest type of anemone to keep).
You definitely need a stronger light for ant nem. I have a 65 watt Maxspect jump around 10”s above my 11 gallon nano raising a couple of bubble tips. The light is only running around 60% but I have plenty of up or down if needed. If the easiest anemone is still a hard piece of live stock to raise and please wait at least 6 months before adding it. They like super stable conditions and sometimes the smallest swing will take them out.
Any not ant lol
Thanks for the advice
