With a 90-110g display tank..

Planning on a 90-110 gallon tank with a 30g sump/refuge saltwater and coral/fish please help with below questions:

How many

a. gallons flowing through the sump per hour
which houses the refuge, scimmer, air stones, and maybe some
other filters depending on the need.

b. gallons flowing in the entire tank for optimum conditions per hour

c. gallons floating through a heater closed loop per hour

d. gallons floating through a carbon filter closed loop her hour

e. gallons flowing through a closed loop UV tube

f. Crabs/snales/shrimp in the bottom of the tank

How much

a. lighting, give examples of optimum and budget setups

b. live rock

c. sand for a dsb

Help me stock...eventually:

I want a lot of crawlers and corals with a few fish, i want plenty of color in the tank. I know so far I want a couple clown and a blue tang, I want the tank to be as peaceful as I can manage, so nothing that eats anything else, Id also like a couple exotics like starfish and the like for interest. Exactly what can a 110 g tank and 30g refuge support stock wise.

finally, any other suggestions for keeping the reef as self sufficient as possible.

In case you didnt notice, I do not want to use powerheads, they are a little too ugly, I want to use hidden closed loops as much as possible with pumps to give the desired movement without having equipment in the main tank. In fact, im hoping to get away with just the overflow in the tank, everything else hidden in loops and the sump.
