    size sorry just checking

    hey all just want to make sure this is right

    for a 200 liter system+ 50 liter sump a 5x5 lit both sides would suffice?

    or would 10x10 lit boths sides be better?

    thanks

    Don't worry about the sump volume, unless you use it for a refugium for fish or other animals. 200L ~ 52 US Gallons, so you would need 50-55 square inches or 320-350 sq cm. 7" by 7" (49 sq in) with one 23W CFL on each side in a good reflector would do the job.

    If the sump has life, you may want to make it a little bigger. Bigger never hurts, smaller can.
