New Build and need advice 90-gallon cube

[KillicK]

Hello everyone!

I just have been debating with lighting and Powerheads lately as these are the final purchases left on my large list (slowly collecting).

My goal is a mixed reef tank, and I began the journey after the passing of my father. He was largely into boating and the water which has sent me down this newfound addiction.

Tank size 36"x 36" x 24"
Lighting thoughts: 1 Kessil A360X (own)

My idea was building a custom light fixture which I would put the kessil in the middle such as: 2 led l kessil l 2 led
Lumilite pros x4 36" (3 actinic blues and 1 50/50) ??
Orphek OR3?
Lumilite XHO?

My other though is do 24" and instead make a box of led strips [ ] surrounding the kessil.

Is this overkill or thoughts on another idea?


Powerheads: To save money I was thinking buying 1-2 Koralia evo (later can be salt mixing pumps) which can be upgraded to single mp 40's and 2 mp 10's? Would 1 Maxpect Gyre be over kill here?

Any and all recommendations are very apricated! I have met some really amazing people in the community and first time posting on reef2reef .

Bought a used tank would you re-seal to be extra safe?? no leaks found so far

Thanks!!!

Could also just sell the kessil and do the 5 LED bars as a single light. Which from the BRS videos it seems pretty comparable in looks.
