New 90 gal.

[plumber]

Hi, So 90 gal. is coming along nicely ammon 1.0 today . I have two different options for sump which would work best ? 30 gal wet/dry or a etss enviromental tower super skimmer approx 20 gal. I would use a skimmer & uv either way. Also lighting what is the prefered light for this size tank given what I propose. Stock list ; Toadstools , shrooms, zoos, zoas, a large plate coral, some small sps corals , leather coral. Fish; yellow tang, hippo tang , red lip blennie, maroon clown , koran angel , long nose hawk fish. 3 assorted anenomes, 5 peppermint shrimp, 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 sallylightfoots ,1 strawberry crab , And a clean up crew .
Thanks for all the help really appreciate it , John

now, ive been told different things on the size of the sump for tanks, but, the general consensus from what ive been able to gather is you want your sump to be at least 1/4-1/3 of ur tank size, if not more, i think lol, but im pretty sure thats been the general consensus.
im goin with a 10g sump/fuge on a 20g long tank

bigger is better.

Congrats on the new tank John.I only have a 20g long sump/Refugium for my 125 and its more than enough.But like was stated above the bigger the better,the more water volume you have ,the larger margin of error you have in maintaining your water parameters.

on my 90 gallon i have a TEK t-5 Light and i can keep anything.
i hav sps,lps, and softies.
all is well with them being placed right.
its the 8x65w not the 6x65w. more bulbs you can achieve the look you want imo
