Default 75 or 90 for planted?

Im planning on doing a Co2 setup, yes. If so, what types of lighting would
I need. I would like 3 watts per gallon - or close to it. That is alot of
watts, but should I go with ahsupply's compact florescent, or just the
regular 4 or 6 ft shop type florescent?

Im excited haha

Thanks Everyone for your input

I bought a 125 gallon today on sale at the lfs,


Congratulations! A 125 is a nice size for plants, IMO. Six feet long,

18"
wide, just under 2 feet deep. With this size, you can use just about any
lighting you want. Though, price-wise, flourescent tubes might make the

most
sense.

Are you getting a compressed CO2 system for the tank, too? If not, it's
probably best to keep your lighting levels down at around 2 wpg. 125

gallon is
sort of large for DIY!
