Default 20 gal long setups

I am thinking of getting a 20 gal long tank/hood/light in the near future. I would like to see everyone's 20 GAL LONG setups. What kind of light should I get?
I want to create a tank with Riccia as the carpet substrate and some taiwan moss to offset the coloration. I would have a few rocks to create some height and depth... I dont plan on using any other plants..
