I'm too lazy to put that in the converter thingy, is that a 75 gallon?

You're pretty heavily stocked, I'd be careful. I hope you're planning on having a big sump, and a VERY good skimmer. Some of those fish get bigger than you think they will.

Why not just bump the halides up to 250 watts? You having any supplemental lighting or no? If you already have LPS/softies in the other tank, I think this one should be an SPS tank...Dont you?

What are you doing as far as circulation is concerned?

I'll post more later, in school right now. Good Luck though!

120, ahh. Nice. What will the total system be with sump and all?

Ohh c'mon you've gotta love SPS. What's not to love?! I think you should be brave and try a few acros.
