FOr lighting - what do you plan to do with your tank? You said corals, which types so we know how much lighting you need.

What size sump tank are you planning on?

well did some research and have the sump done, have the protein Skimmer, order the light( whent for reef lighting just in case) wondering about the substrate, went to the LFS and saw 20lb live sand $29, argonite 40 lbs $35, and crushed coral 40 lbs $31. just wondering what i should go with. also thinking of geting some live rock, base rock Mix.
