I need some help with lighting. Someone gave me a bunch of Java Fern and Anubias. I understand these are low light plants. I have read, if you have to much lighting on these it will burn the leaves. I'm putting together a 75g with 40g sump / refugium. The 75g will have some Java fern, Jungle Val and probably frogbit on the top. The 40g will have Java fern, Anubias and maybe some hornwort / frogbit and Java Moss. Looking at the lights, I was looking at a 72w fixture for the 75g and either a 60w or 36w for the 40g. I was leaning towards the 60w unless that will be to much light output for those plants. I'd like to stay with the 72w on the 75g for extra light when taking pictures. I'll link the fixture that I was looking at. Any recommendations? I've had very little success with plants in the past, but I want to give it a full effort. I've also purchased easy green fertilizer and root tabs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086SVC2FH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AVCC5D32ELY5X&psc=1

I like Hygger lights and use them on all my tanks. The one I use is this one...
More than enuf adjustments for light intensity & features. The only con is that if the power goes off it does not remember the settings and you have to reprogram the light. Not a big deal to me as they are easy to program and use.
