Lighting Question

[SombreroBanana]

I have a 20g long that should be done cycling soon, and I just realized I don't think my lighting is sufficient. My hood only holds one T8 bulb, and mine is a 8000k 17-watt full-spectrum daylight. I can't really afford a new hood, so what kind of plants are suitable in this level of lighting? I currently have an anubias and a kleiner bar sword. The sword is melting, but I'm attributing that to the replanting. The anubias is fine. It's even put out some new growth. Is there a better kind of T8 bulb I can get, or should it be fine? I'm not planning on having any high light plants, so what should I do?

if your looking for low light plants i can suggest java fern/moss and most types of cryptocoryne will do well in a low light environment, anubius also like you already mentioned
