What's your wish list?

SPS
LPS
Soft corals
No fish
Few fish
Lots of fish
Clams

The lighting will depend on what types of corals you want to keep. Metal halides are necessary for SPS, PC &/or T-5 would do for most LPS & softies. Would be looking at a dual 250W with actinic flourescents (VHO, NO or T-5), I imagine as your most versatile lighting choice. Metal halides will get hot, something to thing about for the summer.

Are you looking at in-sump skimmer or hang-on-tank? Don't believe the volume ratings for many manufacturers. Generally, for a reef tank be a Tim Allen. More filtration & skimming power is appreciated, unless you don't plan to heavily stock.

Good luck on your upgrade.
