So what would you use? I have a 46, 55, or 75 I can set up for this. I have PC(4x96) or MH(175x2 or 250x2) lighting I can hook up to it. I plan you use a Mag 9 on a tote style sump. I'll put a couple power heads to keep the water rolling. Not sure on substrate yet, but it will be something chuncky. LMK what you think

I'd go with the 2x175MH, less wattage but higher out put then the PC.

Just finished it.
75 gal, Mag 18 return with a small Iswaki on a CL. No substrate yet. Not sure what it will be, CC more than likely. Right now I have a 96w pc on it as things settle. This evening I'll move 2x175w MH over the tank. And the best part, a box full of zoa's to start the prop efforts. Just got some green PE, fire and ice, pastel blues, yellow with black skirts, orange with black skirts, and some BRIGHT greens. there was also a freebie pcs that I'm not sure what they are yet. I'll post pics once everything settles and they open up. Then as these new guys get rolling I'll move my PPE and RPE in along with the other zoas
