I was interested in keeping some soft corals only like leather, mushrooms etc. The tank is 24" tall and is a 60 gallon.

With those lights i would not keep much more than mushrooms or maybe some really low light demanding corals.

Have you looked at the t-5's?

[MrRoo]

No I have not, have a link I could read up on/purchase?

[MrRoo]

I am just looking to have an anenome, mushrooms and maybe a leather.

An anenome would definitely need more light then that. But you could most likely get away with the mushrooms and leather with that light.

T5HO Retro Kits
Here is a link to t-5 retro kits both ho and vho.I would recomend a 4 or 6 bulb unit in ho.The compact flourescents dont have enough penetration to reach the bottom of the tank.

I would get another 2X96W Power Compact Retro Fit and you could keep the corals you mentioned. I have kept a codi anemone on a 2X96W Power Compact in a 45 Gallon for the last 2 years and it is doing well in the tank but the anemone is sitting somewhere in the middle of the tank.

I had mushrooms, zoos, and a finger leather in my 37gal under PC's and they all did really well. I also had an anenome under T5's and it did really well, but for both you might want to go with the T5s or maybe T12 VHOs
