How much lighting? Power head?

[Melgrj7]

I want to keep shrooms in my 15 gallon (and polyps). It is 12 inches deep. Would a double bulb T5 be enough lighting?

How much of a current should there be? There is an aquaclear 20 and a penguin mini running on the tank, should I add a small power head? There isn't to much current at the bottom of the tank.

I know most of my mushrooms don't like a lot of light or flow. You should be fine. If it is too much light or flow they might detach from their rock anyway.

Your lighting is fine for softies. You should look at purchasing a nano powerhead. Just dont point it directly at the mushrooms and you'll be fine. They are very cheap and will help your system a lot. More flow = more filtration.
