I have a 20 high that I would like to put some inverts in. Problem is that I'm in college and trying to save some money right now. I have 15 watts of light from a T8 bulb right now. If anything (coral, anenome, or whatever else) could live in there right now that would be awesome. I do have another light fixture that I could put another bulb in if I wanted to, if I need a 50/50 or anything else I could get that. If its just mushrooms I can keep, so be it. Also, what levels of light would I need for zoanthids and some other corals?
 
dude low light thing for sure is a harlequin shrimp my favorite thing in saltwater.. they only eat starfish but they are so fun to watch and have ridiculous colors
 
Ya I'm thinking of just getting some shrimp and stuff. I would love to get an anenome for my percula clown though. I also currently have 2 damsels, the clown, a pajama cardinalfish, and 2 hermit crabs.
 
Dude.

Forget an anemone. They have a high light requirement. Save yourself the aggrivation of killing one slowly and practice responsible reefing.
 
Basically everything that isn't photosynthetic, minus some macroalgae species. Most other inverts will do just fine, with some difficult to keep exceptions here and there.
 
Alright, just wondering if there was anything I was missing. What is the minimum WPG for low-mid light corals. I really just want some nice zoanthid colonies and maybe some LPS.
 
5 wpg is a good starting point for mid to low light demand species

I would opt for a 10k/actinic blue combination.
