Default Lighting on 30g

Just curious what I could keep on my 30g tall with a 2X65W PC fixture. Its about 20" tall, 30" long and 12" wide, so I get good light coverage on the tank. Its the height that worries me. Either using 2 50/50 bulbs or 1 10000K and 1 actinic. I plan to use a 2-3 inch sand bed, with some live rocks, polyps and mushrooms. Would this be adequate lighting? I do plan on getting a MH 150W HQI later on, but I have this fixture already and thought I might just use it for now. I'm just not sure how adequate this lighting will be in the meantime. I'm not planning on keeping any clams. Would I be able to keep anenomes with this setup? Which bulb configuration would you recommend? Thanks for the help.

Gord.
