A good 4 bulb fixture will keep anything you want to in a 20 Long. Just make sure you choose a fixture with individual reflectors for each bulb instead of one large reflector for all the bulbs. And, that they are what are parabolic in shape, the most efficient shape for reflectors.

Good luck and HTH.
