Help pick my new office 75-100g tank setup?

I have 3 im's, ext 170, 112, and 50.
Lights are;
Ext 170-2 photon 50's and 3 or4 uv/v bars.
Ext 50 3 xr15 gen 5 blues.
Ext 112 400 watt halide and 2 14k edge bars.
So lighting can be whatever you like visually as they all work well.

Very nice! I love the halide look and the Kessils seem to be the best LED alternative. I didn't think I could spring for 2 but the sale price was too tempting. I think I'll repurpose the current Maxspect ethereal as a refugium light.

So, I was finally able to get a hold of someone at Innovative Marine. Turns out that roller filter won't fit in that sump. Going to have to email and get them to cancel that anyway. Supposedly there's another one that fits where the filter cups go. Researching now

Lights... Let's talk lights! And anything else I might need to consider if I go with the current leader in the im100.

three noopsyche k7s would be good and budget friendly @ 139 each

I have tried all methods of overflow options and prefer 400 micron socks over any of the other methods.
Only needs cleaning once a month.
I just cleaned them in the 170.
It catches the big stuff which is all you really need.

That's reassuring. I don't plan on a heavy biolad and my maintenance lady comes about 3x a month for water changes, cleaning, testing, etc. still would like an auto roller while I'm splurging. There are options but I might just see how the socks go at first.

I forgot to mention mesh socks not felt.

Went by the new office today with a bunch of boxes to mock things up. I think now I like the non-window spot. This also allows me to run a 1/4" tube into the "employee kitchen" to connect to a gravity ATO tank out of public view without having to add another cabinet.

Lights came today too. Superfast shipping from Top Shelf Aquatics!

I bought 2 Glowrium Led lights on Amazon last year fir ridiculous fly low pricing and a 3 yr warranty. For my UNS 129 125 gal 4 x 2 x2 DT. Never opened the second one. Great app, very bright coverage across entire tank and lots of spectrum to mix around. Works with bluetooth and wifi.

Save your money for fish and inverts buy one of these.

Hmm,.. not sure I'm understanding you. Are you saying skip the Kessils I already bought & received? Or are you talking about something else?

What sold me on the Kessils is the halide-like shimmer and output for future sps stock. Also, being in our main lobby, the actual equipment has to look nice.
