WPG doesn't work with little tanks (Under 15 gallons). To get the same amount of light intensity over a 3 gallon you would get from 250 watts over a 55 gallon, you'll need sometime like 25 watts of light. It has to do with light flux per surface area of the tank. So a 9 watt bulb will give you a low light situation.
