Help me build/find a complete automatic CO2 system!

That's a lot of light. And a steep learning curve. Get your CO2 and fertilizers handy before you run that amount of light.
i would start with just one 55w on at first. get a handle on it and when your ready turn on the second one.
hm, that seems way underpowered for the plants though. Why would that much light be hard for a noob?
right. I guess the idea is having enough plants using up teh co2 and out-competing the algae
As someone who jumped into a high-light tank as a first planted tank, I'll gladly say that it's better to go easy on the light at first. Most of the more common plants will handle lower light levels ok (they won't look their best, but they'll survive), and that will allow you to get a good feel for what's going on with the tank before you crank it up all the way.
