maybe i posted it wrong i did mean 24" wide and 18 Tall, i put the H beside the 18 i thought that ment high. yeah i would go nothing less than 24 because i love depth in a tank makes it feel more like your in there.
thanks doch, i would love to get an 8 bulb but i think the wife wants me to tone it down a bit price wise. i think with 6 bulbs i will get what i need for now, and im sure down the road i will either want more light or a bigger tank ( its always one of the 2
)
