Lighting ??

Howdy,
I have a 75 gallon FOWLR just started it back in Feburary. My question is what kind of lighting will I need to turn it into a reef tank? I have the orginal light that came with it. I put a new bulb in it (20000K) and I know this is way off of what I need any suggestions will be most grateful. I would like to stick with floresence bulbs if at all possible. Any certain brand I should look for? I have been reading alot about lights they are supposed to be something like 3 or 4 watts per gallon. How do I accomplish this? thanks for any help!!

I did a t5 fixture, and it is working great. I don't think there is anything I can't keep.
