Anything but NO (normal output florescents) and you should be set. If you are looking to just keep zoa's and shrooms as well as other low light tolerant softies, aim for a cheap PC(power compact) or T5 (high output florescent) fixture. The NO bulbs wont supply the correct lighting spectrum/intensity that these corals need to survive

a simple double bulb T5 fixture would probably suit your needs.
Current USA makes a fixture that would probably work for you. It is the Nova extreme 2x18w 18" fixture and it will run you about $55.00. It comes with a 10,000k and a 460nm (actinic) bulb
