Lighting

Another consideration is how many wpg you want Most of the high light
plants do better with 3+ wpg
Lower light plants you may not have to go with pc lights

4x55W PCs are usually a good choice for such a tank if you want very
fast growth rate. Otherwise 4-6 32W T8 bubls would also work well.
Depends on what plants you are looking to grow really and how often
you want to prune the tank.

I'm looking for some insight/experience into what lighting system
(watts) I should get for my 75 gal. tank? This will be heavily planted
with CO2 injection and all that good stuff. The tank is the standard
48" x 18".

Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm reluctantly getting a Power compact system with around 3.5 watts/gallon.
I say reluctant because I believe this would be good for smaller tanks, but
as you get into bigger tank sizes the watts/gallon equation becomes skewed.
