What Light?

[Wonderboy]

Hey everyone! I was curious how I am going to pull this off. I need/would like to get 2 to 3 WPG on my new tank. I just know a lot of you know how, but I don't ...

The tank is a 125 US gallon.

Length 72" - Width 18" - Height 24"

Looking in at it from the top, the tank has one cross support in the middle, and 2 all-glass covers, with common hinge-style lids, for each side. Okay, so I need two 36" light fixtures.

Thanks for the help ahead of time!

2-3 WPG is a lot of light in a tank that size. Do you intend going heavily planted with pressurized CO2 injection and regular fert dosing?

Yes, I do. I would like to attempt to pull off a massive aqua-scape complete with a glosso-carpet, driftwood, and java. I plan on making my own fertilized substrate setup and running presurized CO2.

This is a pretty big project, and I could use all the help I can get from everyone here. I am just now starting to collect my equipment, but the tank won't actually be setup for about 5 months - planning ahead!
(when I do start going at it - I'll take lots of pictures and write down all progress for a 125 G planted journal)

All help on ALL equipment I would need would be great!
-especially if I can save some $-
