Get the 20 gal, otherwise you'll just end up buying another tank w/in the next six months. Use the 4 ft. shoplights (Metalux brand are the cheapest, about $10) which you can find at Lowe's or Home Depot. They'll be a little long, but you can cover a couple of tanks with them when the time comes.

If you can't find the shop lights, get two 30w CF lights with two clip-on fixtures from Lowes
