Hello,
I am about to setup a 36 X 36 X 25H RR cube. I was planning on a mix reef standard liverock and sand bed. 35g custom sump, 10g fuge 20g custom frag rack. my question lays with the lighting and water flow.

Lighting Ideas: radion g3 (owner manual says a 36X36 spread is achievable)

water flow: present idea- two Hydro magium on wave maker

Future Ideas - mp40wes or gyre
 
Sounds like a 150 cube? I'm working on a 93 cube, this is what I'm doing:


For flow, I'm going to rock two, Jebao RW-15s hooked up to my apex for wavemaker control. (maybe a bit overkill) but I would rather have too much flow and be able to dial it back than not enough flow and not be able to dial it up.

Lighting: (2x) https://reefledlights.com/shop/cri-reef-genesis-3/



 
I may rock some jedao rw. And my future goal it to have an apex to control this tank. And yes it's a 140-150~ gallon tank. Thank for the advice.
 
I been looking at livestock for the aquarium and id like to do:

regal angelfish
chevron tang
achilles tang or blonde naso ( unsure if there would be enough swimming room )
school of chromis
and some wrasses


any thoughts on the tangs living in this size tank would be great.
 
I am wanting to place my tank on the opposing side of the room facing each other. about 6.5 feet between the fireplace and the front pane of the aquarium

my question is will i have major issues with this placement?
