light suggestions? 125g

so I'm at the point in my 125g tank build that I would like some suggestions about what light(s) I should get?

it will be a heavily planted.

what lights do you use in your planted tank? what lights do you like for a planted tank?

 

Good morning,

For my 33g long heavily planted aquarium, I am using T5 HO 28W 6700K.

My plants:
Anubias (slow growers)
Java Ferns (slow growers)
Banana Plants (awesome little plants and growing so well!)
Swords (doing very well)

Here is a chart that may help you to determine the lighting that your tank requires:

well thank you!

 

so I was looking at aqualight advanced series HQI metal halide fixture That clips on back of the tank ,its150w. I was thinking of getting two would that be to much light?

 

Depending on the lighting level you want, any high output lighting system should work. Just make sure the color temp is in the correct range. Avoid the blue/actinic lighting options.

 

Ya these didn't have any actinics just the metal halide bulb
