There is a sticky in the aquatic plant section that covers this.

Little to none to be honest. Any light will do.

Java moss is very, very, very easy. It really doesn't need much light (even just 0.25 watts per gallon will do) at all and no fertilizer. It's cheap, too, and provides lots of hiding places / microscopic organisms for fry.
