One T5HO bulb, with a good reflector and driven at full HO power, sitting on top of the tank,should give you low medium light. But, I would try something like http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/stor...oducts_id=1194 hanging about 6 inches above the top of the tank, expecting to have to adjust that distance to fine tune the light.
