plan on buying a 90 gal All-Glass Mega Flow Overflow Aquarium with matching canopy. My questions is what lighting options do I have with this setup and how do I mount the lights under the canopy. I plan on having a mixture of fish and coral leaning more towards the fish side of things. Do I need to use the metal halides or can I use Fluorescent lighting. I'm not even sure if theres a way to mount the fluorescent tubes underneath. I guess the best thing to do is go to my LFS where i'm buying the tank and see what they think but wanted to get your opnions as well. Maybe one of you guys have this same tank and could show me what you did with lighting.
