Why not the 24" Sunpod with one 150w DE MH. You could keep anything. 6-8 hr pp.

Are you saying the hood has one 65W bulb or two? If it's just one then I'd consider it low-light and you can probably keep mushrooms, zoanthids, soft corals, and maybe LPS.

If it's two bulbs then you should be able to keep most things except higher-light SPS and clams.
