it's really more about depth of the tank than the total volume and there are many other factors to consider (spectrum, reflectors, light type, etc.) so it's a really poor way to judge a light, but 3-5 watts/gallon is usually what you end up with MH and T5HO.

so 62 watts or a T5 (2x31 watt) light on a 12 gallon long (8 inches wide, 9 inches tall) would be sufficient?
