mushrooms, hairy mushrooms, and gsp would probably do fine in a tank with that lighting... and possibly some non-photosynthetic corals such as sun corals.

They do. The mushrooms would probably live under that light, but they would not be at their best IMO. You would be much better off upgrading.

I replaced my 15W 50/50 with a 65W 50/50 Compact Fluorscent. The coral is doing great compared to what how they were before.

I was going for some T5s but I realized that none fit on my 20 gallon aquarium.

I know of some t5;s that fit fine on a 20g, but if you went with a 65g PC fixture, it doesnt matter. That should be fine for mushrooms, zoas, etc. Just place the corals accordingly to whether they need more light, more flow, etc.
