Reef radiance makes good ones from what I hear. When I get enough money I'm going to be buying one. For a 75 you might need 2 though

I personally use Aqua-illumination Hydra52s. They are powerful lights that easily reach the bottom of my 24 inch deep tank. I an running them at 60% and have plenty of light an energy to spare. They have a full color spectrum and can be controlled by AI's Director Box or by an APEX Neptune Controller. I'm very happy with intensity, color and quality of these LEDs units

Buy two Reef Radiance DM-155e lights! They aren't controllable, but with timers you can seperate the while and blue channels. 2 will run you about $340 to our door! I just got one and I love it.

It really depends on what you want.

If you want just some light to illuminate the tank so you can see things, a really cheap fixture will work.

You need quite a bit more light if you want to have photosynthetic corals.

It costs even more to have full spectrum lights.

And it costs more again to have full spectrum controllable lights.

You can get a basic full spectrum sort of controllable unit from reef breeders or reef radiance for a reasonable price.

For a top end, full spectrum, top rate LED, multiple channel control, you are talking Aquaillumination or Ecotech Radions.
