Hi all,

I have a 20 long, (30x12x12) and I am planing on setting up a reef. I will only be keeping softies and lps. I have chosen to go with power compacts and was wondering if I should get the 30" single 65 watt or dual 30" 65 watt (130W)? No sure because the tank is only 12 inches tall. Thanks in advance for the responses!! Hope everybody has a good new year!

I have a 20L too and I went with the Current USA 30" SunPod 150w (MH). I did have to raise it up about 6" using wooden blocks, but so far that has been working. I'm thinking of switching to the Current USA 30" Sundial 96w (T5) for better light color options and less heat issues.
