hey guys and gals Im new to the forum I have a 220 gallon going in the wall just a few questions!

looking to build a reef aquarium

I have a sump to go under the tank and a protein skimmer coming...also I ordered a 770 watt lighting system cost around $800 for the lights they are 72 inches long like the tank... also have an RO system going in tomorrow in the bathroom....what Else do you all recommend?
Refugium?

also my Sump has bioballs someone said take them out and replace them with live rock?

Nix the bioballs. Definitely live rock. 4 inches of Aragonite sand. MH lights?
Sounds like a dream of a system. Refugium if you have room, definitely: growing macro in there with sand and live rock will produce isopods for fish and stunt the growth of undesirable algae in your display tank, plus increase the natural filtration.
