Watts per gallon are an outdated guideline. Assuming you like leds a fixture that covers your whole tank and has 3w bulbs should do the trick. If you want to post your tank size, budget, and stocking plans we can help you pick out a fixture

I have 29 gallons, I plan to stock up on a bunch of coral and my budget is max $150

My friend uses this one on his 29g and grows everything from softies to SPS and a bubble tip with it.
