w/ some sort of supplemental lights too, actinic 03's or T5s or something I think that'll make it look great!

Live rock can live/grow under a variety of lighting, including very low light.

As for what type of lighting you would need for the anemone....what type are you planning on keeping?

While MH is nice, and it does save money in the long run, it is a huge investment (well worth it though) but not always needed if you know you are not gonna want to keep SPS or clams.

If you go with a BTA (bubble tip anemone) you could very easily get away with VHO or PC lighting.
