I am still very unsure on lighting for this tank. I would like to use t5 but not sure if the tank is to deep. Help in this area would be great. The sump is going to be 84''x30''x18'' glass with 4 chambers one for filter socks, skimmer, refiugium and return pump. I would like the tank to have a lot of open space for fish to swim. Not to sure on sand or bare bottem have had both and they have there ups and downs. As fare as coral it will be a mixed reef with 70% sps and 30% softies and lps.

Thanks Chris
