Most softies dont require a great amount, some however are even fussier than sps.....the standard lighting on most marine set ups nowadays should be fine and depends greatly on which softies you aim for....what lights you using on there??

For a new marine tank... Currently has 1x 15w T8 light.

In a tank up to 18" deep, twin t5's, 1 white 1 blue, would be sufficient but a couple of combined power compacts would enable you to keep most softies and even lps and hardier sps like montipora...some softies will even need to be placed down low in the tank under these.
