    PVC Enclosure

    I recently purchased a used 48x24x16 PVC enclosure for a great price. I will be filling it with plants and plan on making some cool hides and decorations for it.

    I will likely order a VE-300x2 thermostat as it has 2 zones.

    My question is regarding RHP. What wattage would I require? My house is a steady 72 all year maybe dips to 70 in the cold months. I was thinking 80 Watts. Now I’m thinking 120 or 160 due to the size of the enclosure. Would that be overkill?

    Thanks.

    I have 80 Watt RHP's in all my AP T8 which are 48x24x12. You should be fine with an 80 Watt
