My Tank lighting...?

I will not be looking into corals till around 2-3 months after the tank is up and running. Even then it will just be soft corals;- Till i upgrade the following year to a bigger tank (heres hoping! )

So... I will be mainly looking into Mushrooms and Zoa's (most probs). The current light is ((T8-15W X1)) and i can add a Flourecent Compact 9W to it, which will total 24W in 65L. Would this lighting be ok for the corals i mention. Or should i add another T8 starter? I dont want to go into *advanced* lighting atm, like MH's, PC's or T5's as i will be upgrading in 2011.

Or, are there any other corals i can keep with 24W, bear in mind, *easy* corals

Hope you can help!
oh and sorry for all the questions...!

I wouldn't add any more tubes, it will cook the hood and the water, instead you could replace the T8 tube with a T6 and use a T8>T6 washer to keep it water proof.
