Hi everyone,

I just gave my girlfriend my old 20 long aquarium and a dual bulb t5 ho fixture. She claims to not really want to add corals but we all know how that goes lol. 2 months and that will change lol.

Anyways my question is...

What can I keep under just 2 bulbs? Obviously no anemones, clams, sps. But what about zoas, mushrooms, GSP, Xenia, or some lps?

Yes to all of those as long as it's a quality fixture with fresh bulbs. What brand is it?
 
It's a coralife brand. Bulbs are 6-7 months old so I'll be getting new ones soon. Is this brand ok?

I had a coralife over my 20g as well. They are pretty crappy fixtures tbh. I would say the softies are okay but some LPS are definitely out.
 
Ok that's what I figured. That's for the input!
