Bwidow's 54 Corner...

Hello everyone. New to the site, not the hobby. Ive had tanks on and off for 12 years (salt tanks for 8ish). Finally moved to somewhere permanent with space to set up something nice. PLEASE SEE BOLD QUESTION 2/3rds OF THE WAY THROUGH ABOUT LIGHTS, I need some advice.



Just water tested the 54 corner i have had for for 6 years, been empty for 3.



For right now it has a Fluval Canister(don't remember the number, but rated for 70-75 gallons.

1 Aqua clear 50 powerhead

2 aqua clear 20 powerheads

1 150-200 watt heater (don't remember off the top of my head which tank which heater was in before the move)

30lbs of caribsea aragonite (non live) sand

15Lbs Crushed Coral. (total sand bed is just under 2" right now, looking for 3-4" total after live sand)



Using Instant Ocean Reef Crystals, seems to be at 1.023 pretty steady for the last couple days.



I'm going to be taking set up extremely slow( money and time are tight after buying a new house) going to give it a few more days to stabilize temp, SG, and PH.



Hoping to get Lights and live sand(20-30lbs) Sunday(6 days from time of writing).

Question 1, for lights, since its a corner tank should I do 1 Higher output light in the widest part, or should I do 2 mid level output lights on at the widest and one smaller length at the rear? I'm leaning towards 2, thoughts? Probably not going do High lighting demand corals and such anytime soon, but you never know.



Then I will give that a week or so(basically, the next chance to get the the LFS) and get 15 pounds or so of Live Rock.



Then let it finish Cycling.





Will Update at that point for stocking and such.
