HAVE A 90 GALLON TANK WITH TIDEPOOL II SUMP WITH A MAG 7 PUMP TO RETURN THE WATER BACK TO THE TANK, A BERLIN TURBO SKIMMER AND ABOUT 100LBS OF LIVE ROCK....IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FILTRATION FOR AN AGRESSIVE SET-UP?
WANT TO ADD A NIGER TRIG, GROUPER, SNOWFLAKE, LION, AND MAYBE ONE MORE ALL IN THE 3-4" RANGE WHEN INTRODUCED.....PLEASE HELP BEFORE I BUY.

Sounds Good to me,I would also suggest a UV sterilizer.Also serpant stars help to remove detritis,but get the stars in before the fish that might bother them. On my 90 gallon FOWLR, I have 125lbs. of live rock,100lbs. of live sand,Berlin turbo skimmer,wet/dry(without bioballs),and UV sterilizer.The stars really help to keep the nitrates low.

I HAVE TWO BRITTLE STARS NOW AND HAVE A 3-4" SAND BED....THIS TANK WAS A REEF TILL A WEEK AGO WHEN I GOT BOERED WITH IT AND SOLD 100LBS OF LIVE ROCK AND ABOUT 500 DOLLARS WORTH OF CORAL VERY CHEEP... IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING HOW I ALREADY HAD THESE ITEMS ALSO HAD METAL HALIDES THAT I SOLD ALSO.
I PUT BACK 2 NO FLOURECENT BULBS 1 ACT. AND 1 10000K IS THIS OK OR TO LITTLE LIGHT.

that is plenty of light...FO/FOWLR setups really don't require much light at all...i just have 2 NO flourecent bulb and i'm even getting ALOT of coraline algea growth!!
good luck w/ your new setup...
