I use your standard strip light for a 55 gallon tank. Its a sunglo, and according to the box the light bulb came in, it emmits 300 LUX and has a spectrum of 4200K. I think its 40 watts. I'm not to sure what all that means, I was never that good in physics class. I was hoping to get some more lighting later on. I think what I have is the absolute min!
Good luck. I know more about chicken maternity than I do about footcandles.
