Nice! I have the same system.

What is your plan for corals?
Mine will be 90% acros.

Also per inside dims its only a 135g display.

I will also be doing 90% Acro's. As for equipment I currently have two gyre 350's and a Mighty XL return pump. As for lights, I haven't decided on T5/ led hybrid or full led.

Yea so many options!
I was going to do 5 xr15's in an aquaitc life hybrid but decided to go full led. Xr15's will be on my frag system.
I went with 2 RB 50's. At current settings im getting 350-400 par on the bottom.
Looking to get 300 on the bottom and 400+ half way up.
Should have no shadowing.
Also running 2 sea sweeps with Tunze 6255's. I did not want any powerheads on the glass or back.
Also only 2 cords in the tank that run through the sweeps.

Great light choice! I used to RB's over an 80g a few years ago that grew acros like weeds. Great color too.

Update time. The tank is over the one year mark and doing well. Nothing is growing rapidly but I'm content with it. This is actually a small reset after a broken(stuck on) heater cooked my tank a few months back. A few pieces made it and a few added are back to growing and coloring up.
