Big upgrade- need advice!

[Drake]

Hey guys,

First time poster to the forums, hoping you all could help me out!

I recently purchased a 90 gallon saltwater off Craigslist. I've done a few tanks before (and had a lot of success keeping fish/corals alive) but I want to optimize this new tank.

The tank came with most of the gear I'll need, but I was mostly concerned with upgrading the lighting and getting a RO (possible DI) system for it. As it stands now there's a decent 4 bulb T5 set up on there. But I'm real curious to look at some LED options. I just feel a bit lost in a "sea of LED" information. Any good articles that can break this down for me? Or any recommendations?

As far as RODI is concerned, I always had smaller tanks and would just grab 5 gallons whenever I needed a water change. I suppose 90 gal is more than deserving of it's own system Besides production rates, are there any real differences between the RO systems? Again, any recommendations? Also, never having set up a RO system before, do you need some type of flow regulator or something (when attaching to a faucet). Just seems like a lot of pressure in the system, but i have no idea.

Appreciate the help everyone!
