Cheap 5 gallon lighting?

[Viettxboii]

I want to start a 5 gallon tank that will be filled with most likely low-moderate light plants, and moderately plant it.
No co2, and most likely going Diana Walstad, so the tank will be fed sunlight as well.
Planned stocking is is White Clouds (iono how many) and most likely pond snails from plants.
So what wattage is best for a tank like this?

If I remember right the Walstad goes at about 2W per gallon plus some direct sunlight. This thread might be helpful http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/el-natural/26458-what-el-natural-step-step.html

hm i think ill go with a 6500k 11wat U screw in bulb for the 5 gal then, since theres going to be sunlight and low light plants.

That should work with low light plants, especially with the added sunlight.

using 15 watt spiral should work great with or without sunlight...
now any low light plant suggestions?
