regular 15 watt t8cw light be ok and more than that is it harmful to
the angel or the LR (5lbs)? or better than the incadescent lighting

watt t8cw to give it 3 watts/gallon??Thanks

For the fish the one t8 bulb will be fine, but rather than a cool white
bulb, can you find a sunshine or daylight bulb, it would be much better.

As for the watts / gallon those measurements don't mean much plus since
you just have a fish and some liverock and are not trying to grow
photosynthic creatures very very little light will be fine.
