I would agree with the last poster. I use the same bulb on my nano, and like it very much. So much so that I have ordered another kit. But if you want to try a 28W bulb, it would probably work, but the current would be higher, and the bulb would not last as long. ( I think anyway)

BTW, could you tell me the size of that tank??
