Depends on the tank height as well.....your ambient room temp.....whether the tank has much screened area which doesn't hold in heat as well and what type of basking bulb you are going to use.....on my bigger screen sided tanks, I use 2 100 watt flood MVB's.....before I used them it was 2 120 watt flood lights with my reptisun 5.0. On my tanks that only have a couple of vents and a partial screen door that are 4' x 20" x 24", I use a 160 watt flood MVB.....or previously a 150 watt household bulb and a reptisun 5.0.
