Codis 92 gallon corner reef in the making!

[codigoins]

Hey guys! This is my first build I've ever done and I'm super excited too start! I tore down my 92 gallon freshwater I've had setup for 6 years and decided too go salt! I just drilled the holes tonight in the tank and I'm going to sand down and reaping my stand, I plan on going full mixed reef and maiming focus on sps and chalices, as I'm new too the large reef I would love recommendations for reef lighting, as I am a college student with a child on the way I would love the cheaper side but we all know there's no "cheap" lighting haha. I even had my baby momma in the living room help me tear down the tank and get the okay too go salt so it's bullet proof now' I currently have a custom 10 starphire tank with a pair of snowflake clowns running under and oddessy 4 bulb t5 2 white 2 blue attinic and everything seems too be getting too much light haha. I would love all the advice on what too do with lighting and protein skimmers and any positive feed back would be great! Thanks guys!

Don't forget display tank circulation. It's very important too!

Yeah, I still haven't decided which pump I'm going to use yet, how many gph do you run on your systems?

From the research I've done



FLOW RATE
Tank type = (# times tank capacity)
FO = 10 X laminar
FOWLR = 20 X laminar
Reef with beginner inverts = 20 to 40 X (depending on inverts) turbulent , wave
Reef with hard corals / inverts = >40 X turbulent , wave
