20w for a 5.5?

[Klaunphish]

I was planning on getting a 10g. but now i'm stuck with a 5.5. So would 20w be sufficient for some zoos in a 5.5? I was planning on getting those screw-in coralife bulbs, the 10w ones.

It will be dim, but should be fine for zoos and shrooms.

They make the screw-ins at 20w each, too - they're a bit longer, but you'd end up with 40w total, and that would be better over a 5.5.

Would the 20w fit in the 5.5g screw-in hood?

I've never seen the hood, so I don't know. You'd probably have to rig something yourself, and stagger the bulbs; they're 9" each, so end to end they'll be longer than the tank.

I'm also getting 20g H, could I use this 75w VHO?Big Al's VHO
