I just picked up a used 92gal setup. It has about 70# of LR and also came with a Lg Lionfish, Lg Purple Tang, and a Puffer. I am looking to upgrade / expand on the system a little. The setup came with a dual 65w PC lighting setup (which is not working right now) and I am thinking about replacing it with a higher WPG with Deep Blue Actinic or Bright Blue and maybe even with a PC / MH setup. I am looking at doing a reef setup in this tank down the road and was wondering what lighting setup would be ideal for a 92gal reef setup ??
I also wanted to get 2 powerheads and was wondering what GPH (per PH) would be ideal as I have a Mag 7 (which I am looking to upgrading to a Mag 9.5) for the sump return and a Eheim Professionel II Canister Filter.
Down the road I am looking to add some more LR to my setup from LR.com. If I order it and its shipped over night, would I be able to place it into the tank as soon as I get it, or would I have to cure it before placing it in the tank with the existing LR / Fish ??
I am sorry for all the questions, I am new to SW (as I am not to FW). I have been wanting a SW setup and I found a deal on a tank locally that was hard to pass up. Now that I have the tank I would like to maintain it right and make sure everything is up to par so that it does not suffer and something bad happens. That is why I am looking to get the lighting replaced ASAP, and adding the powerheads. The live rock is later down the road along with the reef setup. I just want to make sure I am on the right track as to save money for the future...
