lighting on a 20g long.

[johnr2604]

I have a twenty long I am thinking of setting up in my bedroom. What would be a good relativly inexpensive lighting setup to keep SPS. I was thinking 2 70w DE halides might do it but whats everybody elses oppinion.

i think with the shallow depth, a t5 fixture or retro would work well, has for me.

I have looked into the T5s and think that is also a good choice because of the length.

not sure if they are enough light. nut they are cheap.

I would probaby need two thirty inchers of those. I am really leaning toward building a canopy and going with two 70w retro's from Sam. I think I could do that for under $150 with bulbs.
