From a 55g to a 210

So I picked up a 210 tank a few months ago and am finally getting around to begin the build process. This will be my first large tank so am a little nervous, but extremely excited. I plan on doing a FOWLR tank for now, but hope to eventually make a reef. I will post pics up when I can of the tank.
 
Congratulations!, that is one heck of a size jump. have you started ordering all the upgraded equipment?
 
I have not ordered the equipment yet. Im still debating on return pump(s), not sure if I want to run 1 or 2. I'm leaning towards 2. Powerheads will be Sicce voyager 3s most likely. Pumps will be the first purchase. Then lights, thinking LED's and probably build them myself.
 
I would go bigger than the Voyager 3's and look at the HP's. Flow is just as important for a FOWLR as it is for a reef.
 
It would be enough in total GPH but a couple of the HP3600's would be less intrusive and provide more flow. If you haven't bought them yet, consider going bigger, there is no real downside to having good flow.
 
The main reason I'm thinking to go with them is the fish shop I deal with can get me a really good deal on them. But I will look at the HPs. The next big thing for me is lighting.
