How much pc lighting do you have? Montis don't need as much light as most sps but still need quite a lot.

Thats not going to be enough IMO. However, even if it was, Montis are fast growing and would quickly take over a 5g so wouldn't be appropriate anyway. I would put a small amount of zoas and a few mushrooms in there and see how you get on with those.
