Question Lighting for a 20-gallon tall tank
I have recently changed my 20-gallon tall tank (24" x 12" x 16") to a planted aquarium, with aponotegons, lilies, anachris, and hornwort. I now have a 15-watt 18" bulb in a light fixture that only allows a maximum of a 19-watt light. I am looking into getting more lighting for my tank, to fit the rule-of-thumb of at least 2 watts/gallon. I cannot seem to find any appropriately sized lights with enough wattage. Any suggestions?
