Please let me know thank you
I have the same size tank and asked this same question a couple days ago. I was told that you dont have problems per say for the wattage but rather the heat. I asked if there was a type of "burn" associated with too much light. I was told on here "no" but that the more wattage, generally the more heat you have and that can cause problems.
So if you can find a way to manage the heat you may be fine.
