Low lighting - what can I have?

[GoLowDrew]

FOLR tank. My lighting power is low (standard florecent). I have had this one feather duster worm for a good year (on my LR). It's not exciting, but it adds to the tank.

I don't think I'm ready for mushrooms, etc. because of light.

Are there other "things" I can add to the tank where it does not need much light?

I have some mushrooms that were hitchhikers on my LR and they are doing fine under regular fluorescent lights.

how many lights do you have on and what are the watts. I started with 80W of NO and I had xenia with no problems

Most softies will do fine. They may not grow well, but the will survive just fine.

I have a friend with a 40g breeder that has 4 Normal Output bulbs (with internal reflectors) over it. She is keeping Xenia, Ricordea, Mushrooms, Zoanthids, Kenya Trees, etc with no problems at all As a matter of fact, her Ricordea are doing 20 times better than the ones I have attempted in my 75g under MH lighting. Depending on how much light you have, and the bulb types, there are many soft corals that you can have.
