the title is pretty straightforward. I know the WPG rule on larger tanks is not really applicable. I am just curious what you think about this kind of setup
i will be using the ge 9325k lights.

Will this put me in the medium light category? I do have a pressurized c02 setup if neccesary but do you thin it will be needed?

sounds good. If you have the CO2 then by all means use it.
I have 220 over my 75 and only had minor algae issues. I have since scaled it back to 55W since most the plants in the tank are slow growers anyways. I keep the light directly over the plants that need it the most.
