    Watts per gallon do not really matter. It's the level of light intensity that matters and the depth of the tank. Your assessment of a 150watt is probably on target but just wanted you to know that the watts per gallon should not be a deciding factor. This would also be better addressed in another thread versus someone's "For Sale/Trade" thread.



    Chris,

    What type of light is it and are you considering trades? Any pics?
