Please do hon! I need something that fits inside the lid and isn't too powerfulx

Rule of thumb is 2 watts per gallon, so an 18ins cube would be about 20 gallons that's 40 watts. But that's what the experts say and I'm no expert [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] What sort of lid is it? If it's a glass lid you may be able to get a Superfish light that clamps onto the actual tank [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Ahhh! The light im talking about is one you clip to the the glass of the tank and it just stays there, you can rotate it because of the bendy metal leading up to the light itself (im using a see through plastic fish tank lid then putting the light on so if it falls i dont end up with fried fish, is this useful to you or will it not fit your criteria lol?!

Mine is a glass tank that the lid slides on and there is a 16" hole (inch -2inch rim around the inside) that I can clip or rest something on...
