I was just wondering how many watts and what type of lightning you suggest for a 75 gallon salt tank. I do plan on having corals in the tank so i know lighting is very important.

basically
there are many ways to do it

some options are below

* mushrooms, leathers, brains, polyps should have bare minimum of 2.5 watts per gallon
*hammers, pearls, frogspawn, most others should have a bare minimum of 4 watts per gallon
*acropora and most small polyp stonys (SPS) should have a bare minimum of 5.5 watts per gallon
(some maniacs use 8 or more watts per gallon)
*all corals benefit from really bright light mostly in the blue spectrum
(there are very few you could buy that would be overlit)
*the 10000K, 14000K, 20000K refer to the depth of the blue color
20000 being the deepest blue
*you can swap out different color bulbs as your wishes require,
no extra charge
*T5 system is probably the most efficient, as far as bulb replacement and energy usage is concerned
