as long as the day temps stay between 86F - 90F in the tank, then you're all good... depending on the house temps and window location, you might not even need a bulb... but if your house temps are cool, then you can go from anywhere from 50w - 75w... at night time, make sure you get a blue/red/black bulb that keeps the temps b/w 78F - 84F during the night - it also helps you see your leos during the night. but as i said a while ago, if your tank temps at night are fine, all you'll need is the UTH
