75 gallon setup/build

I would like to get my 75 gallon glass tank setup.

I am leaning towards an Eheim return pump for in the sump which I hope to get. I think it is a 58 gallon glass tank with refugium. It probably only holds half that in water. I am unsure what light for the refugium.

I am leaning toward the Geismann T-5 lighting in my canopy but do not know what watts, intensity, or combination of types.

I have no idea what skimmer to use.

I plan on a Durso stankpipe for the drain and will most likely plumb all hard PVC with valves on the drain to divide the flow.

The tank is old and has the one hole drilled for the drain so I will return over the back but do not know what the end should look like.

I also need some kind of light timer.

I plan on two 100 watt heaters.

Do I need additional powerheads?
 
I have a 75g reef and I run a Magdrive 7...going stong for the last 3yrs...as far as water flow i've tried several different powerheads but just got my first MaxiJet 1200 with the sureflow upgrade which gives me 2100ghp...lots of flow to say the least. My fish love it though took me a little time to find the right spot. I'm ordering 2 more MJ 900 to use with the smaller prop in the Sureflow upgrade w/ a wave maker.
 
I am running a 36" Coralife PC with two UVL 14000K 96w lights for the shoal grass.

Flow: Eco Modded MJ1200 - moves a lot of water
Penguin 550

Skimmer: Modded Coralife 65 in HOB mode

100w heater
