You could do a 55 but people will give you crap about the hippo tang and the butterfly. How'd you light a 76gal with 20" of light, did it look ok?

i have a 48" 65w orbit lighting system but i was going to setup a 10 nano but decided i should just try to keep what i got and go smaller

Thanks for all the feedback. i was thinking of tanking down my tank and redoing it with a sump with a mag 9 for a return. also maybe a mag7 in a close loop. i also wanted to ask do you think the lighting is ok. all i really want to keep is like shrums and polyps i have right now for lighting a orbit 48" 65w 2 10k and 2 antics. i also have a AquaC Remora but would i need a better skimmer? and do you think it would be ok with that flow. also here is a pic of what i want to tank to be like. my 75GAL im sry for the typo (76)

Looks good. Sumps are great. What do you mean by 2 10K's and 2 actinics? Does that mean you have 4 total bulbs? Or do you have 2 bulbs with 2 tubes in each?
