Well...If you want to beable to do anything you want in the future, I would say a 70-150w MH. Or you could build yourself a 2 or 3 bulb T5 fixture, which would also be sufficient. But it all really depends, like phenom said, what you want to do with the tank.

First choice 70W MH

Second choice T5's

The only thing...If you ever think your going to upgrade to a bigger tank...Go with a 150W MH.

or even the 96wPC powerquad fixture by Coralife, I've used it with great results, but transferred everything into a 12 AP 70w HQI
