So heres the lowdown i have a 20 gallon long reef tank, and a 29 gallon fowlr.
my friend got kicked out of his house so hes coming and living with me, he has a 29 gallon reef, and he was in the process of seting up a 75 gallon which has a 350 magnum canister filter, sump, fuge, but no lights and will soon be running, and his neighbor just gave him a perfect condition 60 gallon corner tank with everything needed, fuge, sump, skimmer, hood, stand, and a unfortunate pc lighting fixture...bummer....
and i dont know what to do with all these tanks now.
i was thinking a 60 gallon reef and a 75 gallon fowlr.

Wow, that does sound like an early Christmas, wish I had enough room for all those tanks! One thing I would think about pertaining to the 60 gallon and 75 gallon plans: Since the 60 gallon is a corner tank you might have problems with lighting options unless you did some kind of hanging fixture. Most fixtures that hang are metal halide (that run hot) so you may need to buy a chiller as well to keep the water temperature down. Personally I would make the 75 gallon a reef since you have more options when it comes to the lighting types/fixtures which would be needed for a reef setup.
