If you are planning to add coral, and I think eventually you will, you

I will probably not add any corals. I am looking for a low maintenance
fish only tank. I think (with a tank this size) I can have a dramatic
tank while keeping the maintenance to just the basics.


Soft corals can be very low maintainance, and quite impressive looking.

So can some hard corals.

I'm considering using compact florescent lighting (and not metal
halides). Will the soft corals be OK with these? I don't really want
the heat associated with metal halides.
