Setting up a new tank approx 90 gallon. Getting bids from three places. I was in the hobby 12 years or so ago and what I remember is constantly 'upgrading' the equipment. Well I've noticed the technology and the equipment is very different now. I want LED lights, as big of refugium I can reaonably fit under the tank and I want clowns, anenome and zoos. Maybe a shrimp or two. What equipment would you recommend? The stands look pretty basic (even ugly) from all the places. Give me some brand names of equipment you would recommend. Specifics if you can.
Instead of doing upgrades, what would you start out with?

I just happen to be building and setting up a 90g tank. It's a bit unique, but you might enjoy reading about the process and get an idea or two. Here is a link to my build thread here at R2R:

Are you positive that is the coral list you will want moving forward? In that case you dont need anything crazy in terms of LEDs which is typically one of the higher up front costs. If you want to future proof a little bit but not pour a ton of money into the lights, a lot of people talk very highly about reef breeders.
