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

Thanks.

My 80 is working great in my t10 and we keep it about 70 in the house.
