50 gallon lagoon

[SoaringFish]

Hello, I’ve been piecing together parts for my new reef tank for awhile now. Last night finally just decided I’d be going with the 50 gallon lagoon ext from innovative marine.
Parts:
50 gallon lagoon ext
26” trigger systems sump and ato res
Tunze ato
2 rfg for return which I saw someone else do and really liked the idea
Protein skimmer undecided
Lights undecided

If you guys have any recommendations on a light and protein skimmer for this build that would be much appreciated. Tank will probably be mostly lps with some sps and softies.
Stocking:
2 orange storm clowns
1 shrimp goby
1 cleaner shrimp
Until last night I was planning on only getting a 25 gallon so I haven’t completely finished stocking ideas yet either.

Thanks.

Well congrats on getting the 50. And also no one said #WelcimetoR2R yet.

I’m not familiar with the dimensions on the 50. I would look at budget, which coral you are going for and tank dimensions to help decide. Stocking will need to take into consideration compatibility between fish and coral and tank size. Skimmers a bubble king is a must ( wait for a chuckle). Actually a lot use reef octopus, and BRS has them 20% off right now.

great time to start a build thread and get that new badge.
