ok - sorry to take so long to think(my wife had "stuff" for me to do anyway)
I have decided to go with the 300g previously mentioned in the thread. It's a steal at $500.00. Bad news is We'll have to take a road trip to Chicago, Il. to get it. The way I see it though I'm still saving a bundle. BTW the tank is reef ready with corner overflows. The current owner doesn know anything about it cause he had it professionally installed and maintained, so some of the plumbing planning will have to be figured after I pick up the tank.

I have also decided that the continuous WC's will be the way I'll go. Lighting I'm still unsure about, but am leaning towards the 4x400w MH's as Chuck suggested. Do you think the Polaris LED's would work for this size tank? Chuck?

As far as sump/fuge goes I will definitely use my 75g for that and use the 2 4x65 pc's.

next question - with continuous wc's would I need a skimmer? I am still working on a wish list for fish but I'm not planning on having very many fish. This tank will be mostly softies and lps.
