what would such a setup cost? ...and does everyone agree with tomchong's assessment?

Maybe this will give you a better idea of the shape - the back is 48" the front is 32" and the two sides connecting the front to the back are about 12" each.

The tank is a hexagon but the dimensions are roughly: 27" height 18" depth 48" width I don't really have a fixed budget. I don't want to go crazy spending though. The cost/benefit analysis would determine which option I would choose. what do you recommend given this?

The problem I had when I originally purchased lighting is that the tank is narrow. i.e.: there isn't too much room for lighting. If I wanted to replace my current lighting what would be the best option given the limited space of my tank's dimensions?

I was trying to remember what corals I had before that I had no problem with - thanks for your help kurtyboh

so with my lighting setup what type of reef should I be setting up?

It is two long tubes that are attached to each other and connect to a 4 pronged electric strip.

excuse my ignorance - what do you mean? The tank's lid has a reflective mount that is able to hold 2 of the 96 watt ultra actinic tubes.

i have 96 watt ultra actinic lights i never used - pretty much everything else i think i'm going to have to replace.

I'm deciding whether or not I really want to restart my reef tank or just set it up as a FOwLR. My tank is about 50gallons. My real question is what would the cost difference be between setting up a reef tank and FOWLR. I've only had reef tanks in the past so I don't know what FOWLR would...

Hi, I forgot exactly why but about 5 years ago everything in my reef tank died and I stopped maintaining it. I have since emptied out the tank and now wish to restart a reef aquarium. My tank has a built in stand and is hexagon shaped. Here is an image roughly similar to the shape of my tank...
