Nicrew Lights for a 75 Gallon

[russell.dexter]

Hi guys,

Trying for a budget build with an old 75 gallon aqueon I have lying around (rimmed.) The goal is sumpless as I do not want to drill the tank.

Potential equipment;
1) Modded aquaclear 110... I'm thinking about another one for cheato ?
2) Current Dual Eflux (1050 gph) Open to same less expensive options... but I like the idea of two wavemakers on a timer so I can reverse the flow
3) 500 watt hygger heater with temperature controller
4) AIO (not sure which yet)

But my biggest question is on the lights.... the 75 gallon has two braces- so I was thinking about some nicrew lights on a wall timer (on / off) Amazon Link

Should I do three 100 watt fixtures?
How about one 150 watts in the centre and two 50 watt on the ends?

Plans for lightly stocked tank as far as fish, softies and LPS mainly. Perhaps one or two sticks of sps at the top and centre.

I would appreciate any feedback!

Three 100w fixtures should work. I would rent a par meter if possible as to understand the spread.

PS if you are looking for an AIO filter, consider the fijicube inserts with their hang on back refugium.
