Default Determing light requirements...

In http://faq.thekrib.com/plant-lighting.html , see:

When calculating the amount of lighting you will need there is a general
of thumb. First multiply the surface area of the aquarium by the distance
from the light source to the top of the gravel. Then depending on the
type of plants you desire multiply this by one of the factors given
below.


Unfortunately, the faq doesn't say what unit of measure distance is meant
to be in, which makes it a bit useless.
