    So, I figured out what to get DH for his birthday. I did a bit research, and found something that I think would work. Would you please help me with the size of the lights that I need to order?

    If the tank is 45gal, 30ftX20ft and 20ft deep, do I need only one of these lights or two? He has his light put on a timer, do I still need the controller for it?

    TIA!

    I think one would be just fine. I have two on my 90 gallon tank and they cover perfectly. These don't need a controller, they have an easy on/off switch. You can get the controller if you want - but I find it's kind of unnecessary.
