Good evening!

I've currently got a sumpless 90g mixed reef and will be upgrading to a 120g.

So far, my equipment for the new tank stands at this:

Deep Blue 120g dual overflow
Marineland Monterey stand/canopy 48x24x24
Trigger Emerald 34 sump
Trigger 10g ATO tank
Tunze Osomolator
Ecotech Vectra L1 pump
Apex Gold/Dos system
RO Regal150 Int Skimmer
Gyre 150

I have an existing (new) heater in my 90 that will be used. As for lighting, I have 2 AP700s sitting idle (it bleached my prized rainbow carpet nem 2 months ago when it went whackado one day while I was at work), and a Maxspect Razor R420R.

I'm currently running my Matrixx T5s over the tank to get the nems to recolor.

I'm excited to have an actual refugium on the sump and am wondering what type of light people use on theirs?

I'm pretty burned up with Kessil right now. Until they get their bugs fixed and open the app up to more than just the iPad, they'll probably continue to sit idle.

Anyone have any issues with Maxspect? I was thinking of going with the AI Hydra 52s. Would this be a better option?

The tank is 48x24x24.

Here's a shot of my existing 90g. Yes, it's busy, but we recently took down and sold the 150. Some of the tangs I have, once the 90 is broken down, will be heading over to my LFS for their 500g DT.

I would suggest getting vortech powerhead and not a gyre. I don't know if have read but people have been having a lot of problems with the gyre pumps.
 
I've been running the Gyres since their release after last year's Macna. I haven't experienced any issues thus far.

The issues I've read up on are mainly broken shafts due to small critters. With wrasses, I don't have small crabs/snails in my tank. Lol.
 
I have 5 of them in my tank. Only time they are all up is for feeding. They happily eat whatever is fed, from pellets to LRS. I love these little guys!
