Well I'm going by the rule of thumb for watts per gallon from the math I would be getting around 5 watts per gallon and most of the professional pet stores I go in with the most beautiful coral I have seen in my life are pushing anywhere from 4 to 7 watts per gallon so I'm making the assumption that it is okay. Gwen is pushing 140 watts on her 29 gallon nano and I believe the only problem that she has experienced is excessive heat which the automatic air conditioning within my apartment and fans should take care of. I just thought that I would start off with a small project and see how good it comes out and then move on to something big and exciting.
