Lighting is irrelevant in a FOWLR, as fish do not care about and would probably be happier under lower light. Having said that, I have 192 watt VHO lighting on my 65 FOWLR because I like how it looks! Its really all up to you!

IMO, T5's would be best. Coralife makes some very good T5 fixtures which are lightweight and give good colour and light intensity.

Default high output

I used 2x 48" high output T8 and 2x48" atinics for my FOWLR tank and it worked fine. if you don't plan to grow anything more than softies, it should be fine with PC's and below.
