So Ive set up my new saltwater tank with some liverock and a few damsels. It's an octagon shaped tank, so I'm looking for suggestions on how lighting is handled. I've got the stock lid and light but I'm going to need a bit more if I want to take on some beginner coral I believe.

What is the general opinion on how to handle lighting for an octagon? Elevated with legs or flat. Any good websites to find this equip? Share your oct sw expertise!

Thanks!

Right now I'm running a Emporer 280 filter and a Submariner UV stabilizer/clarifyer, and a heater. Opinions on this set up? Other than a new light setup what else might I need to begin adding plants or coral?
