Pls help w/ Lighting for 16 Gallon tank

[trotsky123]

Hi, I want to set up a saltwater fish tank to host 2 clownfish.
I have 16 gallone Aqueon tank that came w/ a lamp w/ 1 bulb on the cover with following parameters:
8,000K Lamp
15 W T8
18"
What can I possibly put instead of this?
I only want the fish, not corals, plants or anything growing.
Thank you

if all you want is fish then you should be fine with that

For saltwater too? I want two clownfish

YES...for fish only that should be ok......

I think a 50/50 bulb gives the tank a nicer look personally. But yep, for fish only the 8,000k is fine. Just a little yellow for my taste.
