Default Pastouts 90 gallon build

Well i decided it was finaly time for an uprgrade from my 45 gallon non drilled setup. and moved to a 90 gallon drilled here is my progress so far just the stand as im on wait for my 40 gallon 36x18x16 sump/ refugium plus many many other parts



im kinda lookign for some suggestions for lights? i have 4 pc right now but i want to change them over im thinking get 4 t5 retrofits and when its in the budget get for more and eliminate the pc. and what are some peoples thoughs on skimmers for a tank this size ? i dont realy want to spend a ton of money im thinking around 300- 350$ max

regarding lights, what kind of setup are you trying to have? Like what are you trying to keep in your tank?
