Hi .....  I have a "Aquatic Life" 4 light T5 w/ fan & timer on my 65gal - it has 2 white and 2 Blue bulbs  plus it has three led's for night time - the built in timer is great. The light is great for my  plants  . On your tank a duel would prob do - I went with a 4 bulb fixture . If you go to my "Photo's" on my page you can check out this light on my 65gal.

I orderd a finnex ray fuge LED 7K and the par readings are good on it. I wanted to try somthing diffrent I have t5s for years but I wanted to try LED's for a change.

the finnex fugeray assuming its 30 or 36 inch fixture should be putting out at least ~25 PAR @ 20 inch height from the substrate so thats low light conditions.  you should be able to grow some medium light plants with no issue. 

Since LED are a more pure light source and made to include better PUR output you should good =)

heres the link for the par reading for finnex fugeray 30 inch
