    A forty gallon tank is suggested for an adult and they are 36x18, so something near that should work fine. Lowe's has a pretty good selection of tubs.

    I would say you will probably need a sixty watt bulb but that is something you will have to play with. Using a light stand or a dimmer should make it easy to dial in.
