What watt for 88 litre tank?

[minnnt]

Hi there. Considering setting up a small co2 system on my 88 litre tank and was wondering what light would be best to make the most of the carbon? Preferably a T5 bulb as thats what starter i have on it atm. lol.

Many thanks, David.

I use one 24w t5 over the same volume

As above, i think you would be fine with a single 24w.

I'd buy a luminaire which can hold 2 T5's though, in case you want to upgrade to a high light tank. But it's always better to start with low-medium light ...
