90g setup

[ScubaSteeve]

So I been running a 32 biocube for over a year now and came across a 90g for stupid cheap. It only comes with the stand and canopy and some makeshift sump, my question is what equipment so I look into getting. I want to run a refuge in the sump and leds for lighting. I'll need pumps and all I'm not in a huge rush to get it up in running but I'd like to get a little better then budget quality but not break the bank stuff. Let me know what ideas you guys have.

One thing I did was drill the back of my 32 biocube and piped it into the same sump as my 55 gallon. Not really answering your question but just an idea

couple of heaters, skimmer, return pump, wave makers, lights and alot of live rock/ substrate will prob be the essentials (I'd include a auto top off too). Then there are the miscellaneous things like pvc parts, outlets etc..
Anything after that is situational and/or convenient.
If the tank is already drilled for an overflow, thats some money and time saved too!

I thought about drilling my biocube but it's already up and running and rather not drain it

Thanks I have an idea of the equipment I'll need was hoping for brands and size of lights that would work best

All depends on your budget, and what you plan on having in your tank (what kind/how many fish and what type of corals). As for brands, I can't personally recommend any, I just been looking at the reviews before ordering.
