20 longs are pretty cool because of the dimensions. If you wanted to go a bit bigger, you could also consider a 30 long.

i have a 20 L i like it alot i actually have a PC fixture on it its 2X96 watt bulbs and i have a blue liped dersa clam in there along with some sps and mainly softies. I personally would go with a 150 watt MH along with the 2 X55 .. if u went with the 25 thats 18 watts per gallon... the 150 would give you 13 and in that shallow of a tank i think youd be fine with a 150. But id try to go with a 30 long and if u do that id just go with t-5s because its 48" long... unless u wanna go with 2x150 MH with some 2 vho's?
Its a thought if i did it again id go with a 30 L..
good luck on deciding :thinking:
btw on my 20 L i have a 10 gallon sump/fuge with a modded seaclone skimmer and a mag 5 return on a sqiud. i also have 2 maxi jets hidden behind the rocks. In the fuge i have a DSB and some cheato. I have the seaclone going HOB off the fuge to save me room inside it. On a normal 20L stand from aga you have to cut the stand in the back slightly in order to get the 10 inside.

Ok. Sounds good. Why dont you just do T5? They run alot cooler. How much did you get the 55 for?

Id try to do the most bulbs. I would do six or eight with individual reflectors. Ok. I was just wondering because I may upgrade later this year early next.

It was 80 at walmart a couple of years ago when I did freshwater. The only thing left is the thermometer and the tank. I also bought the stand there for 50.

The stand looks like this. It didnt come with the knobs. I added these because the magnetic thing wouldnt fit with the sump. Prolly cant see it
