Hi I am looking for some tips and suggestions on my tank. It is a 90 gal, +70lbs LR, 80+lbs LS, a pair of orange perc clowns, a pair of black clowns, sailfin tang, blenny, cleaner shrimp, and snails and hermits ,2 emerald crabs, 2 pom pom crabs... for Coral's I have a really large colony of zoo's bright neon green, also a small growing frag of zoo's red skirt and a green disk, don't really know the names of these types of zoo's, also have a favia frag 2" dia, also have a purple goni frag 2" dia, and also a lagre green goni size of baseball, frogspawn i headed frag, hammer 2 headed frag, and a torch 3 headed frag, 16 headed toxic waste trumpet, Ken. tree frag and another leather frag not to sure of its name. I have recently found chalice growing on one of my LR 2 spots about 1"-2" dia, and have aslo noticed some sponge like things starting to grow in some areas.... No sump, No skimmer, I do Have 48" T5 4 bulb w/moonlight LED's....AGAIN I am new to the Hobby and would like some input on what I really need to have in my tank next... I plan on getting a overflow box and a sump/ref. with skimmer inside when I have the $$.. So please any input would be great..

Welcome to the BRS! What are you using for filtration? I would go with the sump and skimmer as soon as possible.

Sounds like a very cool tank! I would say with the setup you have and while saving $$ for a sump/skimmer just make sure you do good size water changes religiuosly and you should have some nice powerheads for cirulation in there. Did you inherit this tank?
Good luck
