Lighting a 125 Gallon?

I'm looking for a light fixture to plant a 125 Gallon tank, 72x18x24. I want to grow Vallisneria, Anubias, Echinodoris, Java Fern. Aquatic Life 72" T5HO fixture has 6 or 8 lights. That's for Saltwater, right? I don't need 6 lights for this do I? Is there a T8 fixture that would work? CF? LED maybe?

Looking around a little more...here's what I really want. I'd like a programmable LED fixture that has enough 6500K light to put me in Medium PAR light range, and also a strip or two of lights that are ideal for showing fish colors, too. That way I can run the "grow light" strips for 6 hours a day, and the other lights for the remaining 6-8 hours a day. Daytime when I'm not home, the grow lights are growing plants. Afternoon and night, they shut off and the display lights come so I can have best light for looking at fish. All of this programmable. How much would that cost me?

UPS just delivered my Finnex Ray 2's today. Yep--they're brighter.... So I put the 25 watt T8's that came with the tank in a closet, set the timer for 9 hours.
