Lighting for a 60cm Optiwhite

[lowee]

Having recently purchased a 60cmx40cmx40cm optiwhite, I am currently undecided on what to do about lighting for the tank. I have been looking at the 2x24w Arcadia system, but that would give me less than 2WPG across an already small tank. What do people think my best option is? All Pond Solutions do a 144W system, which can be lowered to 72w?

Thanks

It works out at around 25usg.... 2x24w would be more than enough giving just slightly under 2wpg... infact many would nowadays consider this to be to much already... APS do a 2x24w (black or silver) which i can highly recommend .

IMO 72w is way to much light and pointless buying a 144w unit to use half of it's power.

I will be using the 2x24w Arcadia unit on mine.
