I wouldn't put the shrooms in with that. I would use a 50/50 bulb for the shrooms, but FOWLR should be fine. JMO.

It also depends on the spectrum... there are some sdesklamps now that are in the 6,500k-10,000k range. However, it is probably a 14 watt fluorescent that they claim puts out the same light as a 60 watt incandescent... it is still only 14 watts of fluorescent which is not enough for any sort of corals in a 5.5g. if it is too yellow (6,000k or lower), then you will run into a little bit of an algae problem.

Yep then the ones Jennie pointed to should work fine. If you could find a way I would place two of those above your tank. JMO.
