I think I'm going to keep the fixture I got yesterday and return that bulb then. I haven't fiddled with all the settings yet so I will let you know.

Yah, didn't know you bought a fixture already.

Mind taking a pic of its underside? I'm just curious.

That actually doesn't look to bad. What bulbs are you going to use on that...and are you going to use all 4?

Since you want to be medium light, I wouldn't use all 4.....heck, I use 4 t5-ho on my 75 and I have very high light, so I need to use co2 with it...and I don't even run all 4 at the same time, just two for 8 hours and the other two for 4-6 hours (haven't settled on that yet) in that 8 hour window.

I'd just run two bulbs if you can...but if you wanted to use all 4 then you'd really want to be using co2.
 
It has a mode so I can have the 2 10000k whites at the same time and then ill switch the blues. But I'm actually going to purchase the red and pink lights we talked about earlier to.

Towards the back left i have water wisteria planted and the the floating is also water wisteria. I know they can grow both ways so i bought the wisteria that was already planted from a LFS and i had the floating wisteria from my old tank. I have some type of anubias of the drift wood but not sure what type. Baby dwarf tears in the front of the tank. I have 2 Cryptocoryne Moehlmanni plants . 2 Echinodorus small though. Java and Lacy fern attached to a rock. A bunch of random kind of swords from my old tank. Ok now I have a slight problem not to big though. My ph is good about 7.2, ammonia is about .25, nitrites are high like to high as well as my nitrates. I know its a new tank and this is the sensitive period. I have 2 baby electric jack dempseys in here and mutliple types of tetras. I have used a little bit of stability everyday since the tank has been started. Should I do water changes? or should I let it settle itself out?
