    Sizing help

    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

    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 .

    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.
