Dan and Amandas (now 130g) Build Fuge addition

OK previously I have had a 55 gallon sump beneath the 100 gallon with a fuge built in and I've always felt that the fuge was not getting the attention it needed, as well as the fact that it can be just as beautiful as the display tank. So I decided to cannibalize my 20g long nano into the 100g. This way i can display both tanks appropriately, this is gonna be great ;D

Sorry about the crappy photos I left my camera at the parents place a while back and I'm too eager to show it off as well as get some input on what i should put in it so these are the best I can do with an iPhone.

I want as much input on what I should put in this bad boy s id appreciate any opinions. I'm currently thinking tons of mangrove (50?) around the sides and back side to hide the algae thats going to grow where I cant get my magnetic scrubber. Many snails/hermits for detritus (20?) this tank seems to collect a lot of it, i may need help with how much flow should be in here. Tons of Macro but I'm not sure which to use...

 

Oh ya the light is a 96Watt Compaq 15k, I was thinking i may need to add a plant growing light for the mangroves? i have one... its a 15watt T8 from lowe's is this advisable?
