compact lighting question

[Melody_Alatorre]

The hood I have currently has a limit of 25 watts for two screw in fluorescent bulbs. Its only a 20 gal with minimal bioload, so what type of light should I get for this hood to properly grow some simple anenomes and clownfish? Are normal compact fluorescent lights ok?

simple anenomes and clownfish....
I woul suggest you read up on what you want to keep....
anenomes require high lights...unless its something like an African Anenome...but thenthat will eat your clowns...
I would look at dumping the hood and get a clip-on MH light

it depends on how much you want to spend?

Something like this will work. I'd get the 150 w version.
