Setting Up 90 Gallon Reef Need Advice

I recently purchased a 75 gallon tank (without overflow) and stand and realized I wanted it higher so I am replacing it with a 90 gallon tank with the overflow. Now my options on filters/etc. changed (again!) so I need some advice from you pro's.

1. Wet/Dry or 30 gallon refugium?
2. How deep should the sand bed be?
3. Will 4x110W VHO bulbs do the job? Plan on keeping pretty much everything besides anemones and clams.
My friend wants to sell a Wet/Dry filtration system which is pretty much brand new. Only thing is, it's up to 75 gallons. I will have 2 powerheads in my tank along with the overflow, would the wet/dry filter not be enough?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

SMoney- Nope didnt know there was a SMoney.

wax32- Thanks. What do you recommend for lights then? I have went to many LFS (just saltwater) and they have the 4x110W VHO's over 75-125 gallon tanks.

You will want some metal halides if you want to keep SPS. A couple 250w bulbs should do you fine.
