    I am assuming your wet/dry dosen't have a fuge? If so you will deffenetly want one. Mabey you could do a 20g and just plum it in with one of your overflows?

    Welcome!

    I have tank size envy. LOL

    I'd be curious to know the dimensions as well. I'm moving to a new house soon that has the perfect spot in the basement for a huge tank.

    Welcome to 3reef, i am so jealous of you on the tank.

    T5HO lights will work fine for SPS and LPS and clams. They are just as productive as MH but without the heat issues. MH are the best solution if your tank is over 30" tall. If you go T5HO the ATI Powermodule are your best bet. Go to reefgeek.com to see the fixtures.
