Starting over

Okay guys I am starting over after about 15 years out of the hobby. I've had a few smaller tanks on and off with my old leftover equipment. I just winged (do to low income) it back when I had my 180 years ago but I'm in a better position now to do it better. Tank purchased is a 90 gallon reef ready. It's been up and running a week. My plan is primarily soft corals with a few hard. Have not purchased lights or other equipt yet so suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks kinda what I was thinking also forgot to mention also included is a crystal 36 sump by trigger system. Will eventually add a skimmer. I've seen led used on display tanks in the pet store with hard corals as well

I use 2 Visparspectra 165 watt LED's on my 70 for about a year now since I got tried of replacing T-5 every 6 months or so. Both my softies and SPS love them this far, rated to last 8-10 years and each was only 170 delivered and in Canadian dollars. Some of the T 5 experts don't trust them as far as colour but like I said, thus far....great.
