Almost There....

[100gallon]

I am looking to get some insight on what might be left to purchase before I think about filling the tank! I have sump planned and waiting for time to construct it, with the help from my other thread you guys were great. This is what I have to date.
90 gallon bottom drilled corner overflow left corner.
Coralife 4 bulb t5 with 4 moon leds
Jager 250 watt heater. Will be going with 2 300 watt titanium shortly for sump.
Aqua medic turboflotor 5000 shorty 2 skimmer with ocean runner 3500 pump.
Mag drive 1200 gph for return.
I have no reactors...and am a bit confused by them to he honest. Also I am looking for an ato to feed the sump.
Oh Rodi unit to he obtained from the place in Concord with in line tds meter.
So. That's all I have thus far. I have a power head 802 and aqua clear 5000 powerhead as well, but nothing submersible for current.
Thanks for the help

Any help is appreciated! I don't want to waste any funds...but am looking for experienced people to guide this set up.

Jebao WP40 wavemakers are good for circulation. Reactors aren't a must right away.
I'm no expert on T5 lighting, but if you want to go SPS, I think you'll need more.

JBJ ATO. Great unit and won't cost you an arm and a leg. I've never used any of the Jebao line, but have read great things. I'm a MP40 guy myself.

You're going to need to figure out if the RODI unit is coming with a float valve and solenoid. You'll need a holding container for RODI collection as well.

Reactors can be added at a later time as well.

Ok where would I pick up that ato? I am planning on picking up two 50 gallon food safe drums from the guy by Elmira and use that to have my Rodi run into. I believe the Rodi was going to come with a float valve and in line tds.

I bought my JBJ ATO from another member here. But most online places will sell it. Like J&L or bulk reef supply

If you're buying the RODI unit new. Chances are it won't come with the float or the solenoid. But you should be able to pick up a float/solenoid combo for around the $50 range

All of your equipment will do the trick but low quality but still we started some where. look for smaller more versatile Power Heads, less of a visual distraction and 2 things that are very important is a great Skimmer and a good RO/DI unit.

That for sure, if you coral are brown and receding at the base. It is a good sign that they are not getting enough light.

It doesn't bother me when it's coming from a friend, but some others get a different reaction. It's all good Eric
