I will be finally moving my smaller tank 60 gallon to new 110 gallon. I am waiting on stand and canopy to finish. I bought some new lighting 2x175 mh and 2x65 pc actnics. my tank dimensions are 60long x 24 high. Canopy is 18" tall, would I need any fans? I plan on having 2 maxijets 900s inside tank for circulation. I already have a sump and skimmer that I will use on new tank.

It will be a few months down the road when I venture towards corals etc. I was wondering if I have sufficent lighting or what I could keep with that amount of lighting? Should I get more?

I want to wait for my tank to become stable during the move and I will be adding more live rock and sand as time goes on.

I am new to corals would like to know what to look for with my setup.

thanks

I would add one more halide, probaly should have went with 300watts with that deep of a tank, but if you add one more 175 then I would think you would be able to keep just about anything. You just need to put the species that need extreme light high up in the tank.
