    96W of T5 lighting on a 30gal will work just fine. That's what I have running on mine. As far as the fixture, I would stay away from generic eBay brand fixtures. You don't want to be cheap on something as crucial as lighting. Petmountain.com usually has good deals on lighting. I got the Current Sundial fixture and love it.
