Well,... I'm running a new 20gh fully planted tank myself and my plants are off to the races. Are you sure you are only 20" in width? Mine is 24" exactly 2ft. wide. A 24" light fits right on it and I'm using the 24" 65w current satellite. In a 20g tank that is probably even a little more than it would need. Don't think you need major lighting on it. even 30 - 40 watts will grow your plants as long as you figure out the amount of time to leave them on. Too long could create algae whereas too little may not be enough. Try about 10 hours a day with a 30 - 40 watt and see how it goes. Maybe a little less if you go for high power lights. Welcome to AA!
