karfixer Big Fish Posts: 435 Votes: 1 Registered: 10-Mar-2002 | Getting 4wpg with a 24" housing will be tough, not knowing how many gallons the tank IS makes it more so. The standard 24" bulb is only 20W, so 2 bulbs=40W. |

| greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004 | the tank is a 20 long. it makes since that it would put out the same amount of light as a 30in hood. since the bulb in them are 24in. does that make sense |
