The wife are considering the following equipment. I was looking for everyones opinion on the viability of the setup.
75 gallon or 90 gallon perfecto tank
Sundial T5HO (4 bulbs - 2 10,000k and 2 460nm)
Coralife Super Skimmer (rated up to 125 gal)
Reef sump (rated for 125-225 gal)
Rio Plus 3100 (900 gph)
Internal pump (950 gph)
50 lbs of lr
~50 lbs of sand
Are there any other major components that I have not considered? Additionally, will this lighting setup be sufficient for at least some corals. Would the difference between the 75 and 90 make a big difference in regard to the lighting? The wife really likes anenomes, so this would be one of the primary considerations.

you'll need heaters. that light should be good for softies but i dont think its enough for a anemone.

oops forgot to post the heaters. Also, I am planning to add more lr, but that would have to wait a few months to replenish the budget.

when you add the second round of live rock remember it will most likely undergo another mini-cycle depending on how much your putting in and how established your tank is already.
