So i am looking at getting a 75 gal off of glasscages.com. It comes with a matching sump and stand. I have pretty much decided that its the best way to go after doing a whole lot of research. I have checked craigs list and there are a lot of great tanks on there for a very reasonable price, but you just can't tell what they may have dosed in them or what they have done to drive them to leave the hobby. Thus in my mind new is better.

My actual question is regarding the eq. It will be a total of around 90+ gal with sump and i am looking for a good in sump protein skimmer. Any suggestions? Also for lighting. It will be a full reef mixed community. I was originally thinking PC's but i want coral and clams so i need much higher out-put. I have heard it argued that T-5's can make it happen, but halides are the way to go. Now recently i am seeing a bunch of stuff on LED's. Anyone able to steer me to the right choice and the right price? As far as other filtration i don't think i am going to do much if any mechanical filtration so not much on that end and i'm gonna go with koralia's for circulation.

Just looking for a little insight into it.
