Hello,

So I'm ready to upgrade the lights on my 75 gallon angel tank. I've got some crap LED's on it, and have only been able to keep vals and anubias alive. I want to be able to keep some swords mostly so they obviously need high light.

Can you guys suggest any bulbs and fixtures for me and give me a link to pages where they are sold?

Also, I know the substrate plays a part. I'm going to get shallow trays and put the special soil in there and then put in the plants.

I would keep the LEDs I love the shimmer effect and add a 48 or 36" T5 fixture with a 6500K and 4000k (plant type warmer) blub. That should give you enough of the right type of light. Without spending and arm & a leg. The guys in the planted tank section do some really cool stuff with lighting and C02 systems. It all depends how far into it you want to get.
 
Check out our Finnex LED MonsterRAY. Jack Wattley just picked them up for his Discus ..here's a before and after on their breeder tank:
