If u see in the pic I have the flo to the grass from the chiller and the hoter water from tank is below the frag rack for more of an even flow and cycle rate!

How is the temp in the frag rack going to be, you might want to check it temp. Is that an in tank refugium you are using in the sump, with a frag rack behind it? Looks good! If you are just doing softies in the frag rack a PC or T5 light would work fine, maybe in the neighborhood of 60 to 100 watts, plus you can adjust the height of your frag rack to get it closer to the lighting if needed.

my vote is for t5 lighting, as you can grow out lps and sps without overcooking everything...
