I'd suggest 2x 54 W T5's.
Cheap and nice.
More than enough light to grow anything.
A good CO2 system is critical, search around for that, you can search CO2 mist here for more.
ADA AS is great, you will have little troubles there. It's not a sediment you will want to uproot things a lot with, and if you do, do only 1/8 to 1/4 of the tank at most at any one time.
Add lots of zeolite and carbon to the filter when you start the tank, also, plan on 2x a week 50% water changes for the first 4-8 weeks, and anytime something does just not seem right. Otherwise, 1-2 week water changes are fine at about 50% etc.
Dosing will be light the first month or two, maybe 1/4 EI, then move up to 1/2 EI dosage after things are grown in.
Clean and prune as needed, clean filter monthly etc.
