NEW LIGHTS!!! Now what can I get?

Hey guys,

I just got my new orbit sunpaq in today. It is a 20" hood with one 40 watt daylight(10,000k and 6,7000k), and one 40 watt actinic(460nm and 420nm). This is over a 15 gallon nano tank. 20x10x18.5. I was wanting to start putting some life in it, but just dont know what will work. I bought this light thinking almost anything could be put in here, but I could be wrong. Any info would be great. Thanks,

Mike

If you want to start on corals, perhaps some xenia?

Thanks guys. I am hoping to get some pumping xenia, and some mushrooms this weekend. It is amazing what the light is doing to the tank, and how it is going to empty my check book. I have found a new 8 tentacle polyp of some kind growing on a rock(not a glass anemone), the Coraline is going crazy, and I also found some kind of soft coral growing on the live rock now. I guess they were all hiding, or dieing till I got the light.
