Lighting for 15 gallon

[Alumentum]

So I'm curious as to what constitutes as 'high' lighting for a 15 gallon tank. After asking a few people already, 2 t5's are good but, I figured I'd ask first as to not make a mistake.

I plan to have only a lily which requires higher lighting from what I've read. Is there any other plant that might co-exist with a lily?

I think 2 T5s is a LOT of light for a 15 gallon, depnding on the depth of the tank. How deep is it?

Are you planning on CO2?

I'm not sure on lillypads but here is a good link about them:

The tank is 16 inches tall and I want the lights to be at least 2 inches above the tank. So I'm not sure which lighting I should use as I'm not as well versed on freshwater lighting lol.

Not real sure about CO2, I might possibly use it. As for lilypads, I've grown some in a fishtank before but, it wasn't mine : (. It wasn't so hard, just needed a good bit of lighting. This was years ago so I can't remember which bulbs were used.
