Question Lighting Recommendation

Hi. I recently purchased a 90 gallon tank (48x18x24) and wanted to know what kind of lighting I will need to grow coral? I also welcome any advice on filters and protein skimmers.

I would use 250's watt halides, that is what I have in my 90 with a mixed reef.

For a filter I would use a sump, the liverock you have will be plenty of filtration.

As far as skimmers go I like the Corallife Super skimmers.
