Sizing help

[pengelli]

Hello,

I want to put a scrubber on my 125gal system. Living in the UK sourcing the right bulbs is a bit more difficult than for you guys in the states. We don’t get as much choice. However I have found these on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Energy-Saving ... 1693wt_956 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Energy-Saving-Spiral-Light-Bulbs-All-Watts-Colours-x-4-/260783275311?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&vti=Attachment%09Bayonet+Cap&hash=item82646018c1#ht_1693wt_956)

I intend using the 24w 2700k.

My feeding at the moment is three to four cubes a day.

I intend to have a double sided waterfall screen.

What screen size should I have?

Thanks

Tim

The only 30w I have seen in our local Morrisons are screw thread. Got some cracking 45w bulbs from eBay though :D .

If anyone needs bigger CFL's look here:
Not sure if they are 2700K or not. I have to look next time I am there.
