Coral Lighting, water flow, skimmer...

[Diesel84]

So I'm all cycled, I have 2 clowns, 2 astreas, 2 turbos, an emerald crab and sea hare to start. Its a 75gal. I have 1880 gph of flow between filters and power heads. Currently I have marine land LEDs, the cheaper ones. Do I buy 3 kessil 350 tuna blues, or the reef capable marine land light bars? Do I have enough flow? And what is a good HOB skimmer?

Anyone have input?

The Marineland LEDs cannot sustain corals, even the ones that state they are reef capable. For corals, you can't be the TaoTronic Dimmable LED fixtures (TT-AL09). Anywhere from 150-180 on ebay.

For a HOB skimmer, the Remora line from AquaC is good, or the Reef Octopus BH-90.
