Welcome to RF! The canopy looks great! Is it easy to access the tank through the two openings to do water changes etc? As for the lighting, the corals you decide to keep, will determine which is best to go with as some require more lighting than the others. Judging by the pics, the tank looks like a 55 gal...Is that correct?

[saltwater newbe]
