Well, was planning this setup for a while, not sure when i will start but here is what i am thinking of. I am going against the norm and trying skimmerless to see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, i might add CSS125 skimmer if needed.
Trying to make this setup simple.
Tank, Stand & Canopy
-> 90G Standard AGA Tank
-> 90G Sedona Stand
-> DIY Canopy
Flow
-> Two Seio 620 Power Heads
-> Return flow from Aqua Clear 110 DIY Refugium
-> Aqua Clear 110 Power Filter
Lighting
-> Tek 4x54W HO T5 Retro Lights (2 ATI Blue Plus, 2 ATI Aqua blue 12k)
-> 20Watt 6500K CF lighting from HD for Refugium Lighting
Refugium
-> Aqua Clear 110 DIY Refugium
-> 3” Dia Black ABS PVC for surface skimming
Filtration
-> Aqua Clear 110 power filter with sponge, carbon & poly filter
-> 2-3” Shallow sand bed
-> Around 120 lb of Live Rock & Dry Rock
Fish
-> Pair Green Chromis
-> Pearl Jaw fish
-> Pair of Oscellaris Clowns
-> Orange/Red Spotted Blenny
-> Royal Gramma
-> Pair Fire fish
-> Pair of Yellow Tail Damsel
Planning to add fish slowly. Will do 10% biweekly water chagnes. Planning to get good cleaning crews and lot of filterfeeders (sponge, clams , feather dusters etc...)

Questions:
-> Will i have enought flow?
-> Is DIY AquaClear110 refugium enough for this size tank? I will be feeding mininal and won't have any big fish. Should i get Aquafuge large or medium HOB refugium?
-> Is lighting going to be ok for softy and LPS setup? Not planning much SPS other then just orange and green caps.
-> What do you think about this setup?
