From the pic, I'd say that is not too much light and soft coral could grow okay. You may also want to try decorative Macroalgae for hitching posts and water clarity.
If that tank is only 8 gals then it must be quite shallow front to back. 96 W PC tubes are ~34" long. Is the tube all white?
Though the tank looks a lot like a 20L, if it is just 8 gals, my guess is that this tank measures approx. 36"Lx6"Dx10"T and that the light is 14" above the water. Is that about right?
I would not expect to view that kind of cloudiness in 6" of water. Is the cloudiness due to phytoplankton or just dust?

Ahhh a quad 96 - of course. That explains why my mind was having difficulties making sense of the look versus the dimensions and capacity.
Come over anytime and get a small sprig of red algae to try and I'll give you several types of tall Caulerpa.
If the phyto is alive and the light is bright enough, a phyto bloom will soon occur, like the one I had in the tank below. This was not the first time, nor the last that I had to deal with a phyto bloom in a new tank. Wacko
