What kind of Corals in a 15H with Eclipse Lighting?

[lutz493]

Have a 15H with one of those Lighting/Filtration hoods made by Eclipse. The tank was a QT but I got a larger one so I want to turn this into a Nano.
Without fiddling with the lightning what can I keep in there? I assume Leathers/Polyps/Mushrooms will be ok?
Can I get away with an Anemone for some percs and any hard corals?
Any advice on what to not use under that lightning would be appreciated.
Thank you.

the best help is to know how many watts the bulbs put out

The lights I ripped out of my 6 gallon was a 15 watt strip light so i would say nothing can be kept with them.

you can get a two bulb fixture for your eclipse that is not that hard to install. With the two bulbs you might be able to keep mushrooms and button polyps, I have the eclipse hood with two bulbs on a ten gallon and the mushrooms are happy, but I wouldn't go for an anemone. I have a pink tipped condy that is doing well, but the anemones that host clown fish will need more light. ( I also feed him at least once a week.) You can also find power compact retrofit kits that will fit you hood, they would allow you to keep more corals. But if you don't want to mess with the lights...........Well, whatever you decide good luck.
