Hi, does anybody know what the requirded watts per gallon should be for a FOWLR tank? Im setting up a 20 gallon and it has the standard 15W 18" bulb right now.

I know Reef tank need a much higher light for the coral, but not sure for the live rock, 2 clowns I plan on keeping, and my clean up crew?

Thanks in Advance.....

standard lighting should do fine, I have a 36 watt coraline on my 16 gallon nano, but the standard you have on their now should be fine for two clowns and no corals

Ok Thanks. I was hoping it would be fine.
I was worried about algae being a problem also if I went higher.

Thanks for the quick reply.
