I have a 75 gallon tank that I was planning on doing fish only, maybe an anemone. I have a 36" marineland advanced led that says its its 25w,7500k, and 1760 lumens. It doesn't fill the tank completely so I was looking at replacing with a 48" fluval aquasky that has 35w, 2400 lumens, and 6500k. Anyone have experience/advice on these?
Which LED?

Neither! You need more light...especially with an anemone. If you're on a budget, as a minimum, I'd consider THIS light for $78, with free shipping.

If I stuck with fish only, which would be better? I used a petco gift card so i was trying to buy the light from there. I could always just get a t5 fixture from there. How much difference is there between 6500k and 7500k?

About 1000k 
.The difference is significant buddy.I would shoot for at least 9.5k
