    This seems oddly familiar to another post of yours.

    Get a decent set of T5's. These should work nicely. Intense light, and a shallow tank.

    Watts per gallon is a poor rule to follow... Unfortunately at the moment there is no better rule

    if you use a screw in pc bulb it will need to be powerful enough to melt the lid.i'd get a normal pc retrofit kit 40watts or better.thats what i did on my daughters 10.or you could get a small 70watt clip on mh lamp
