I have spent the past several days planning out my 65 gallon reef build. I initially got the equipment list together in an hour or two. But then I started thinking if I’m going to spend a lot on it regardless I might as well spend a little more and have a better chance at success. So here is my equipment list. If I’m missing anything let me know.

Tank - Custom 65 Gallon Cube
Sump - Somatic 60 + Addons
Overflow - Eshopps Eclipse M
Skimmer - Somatic 60S
Heater(s) - Two 300 Watt Finnex Deluxe Titanium Heaters(One Running and One Backup)
Light - AI Hydra 52 HD
Wavemaker(s) - Two AI Nero 5’s
Return Pump - Reef Octopus Varios-2 792 GPH
Controller - Neptune Apexel
*Neptune Extras - Leak Detector Kit + Auto Feeder + ATO

And of course salt, refractometer, test kits, food, and so on.

What are the dimensions on your cube? Is one light enough coverage?
 
I have a very similar setup on my 60 cube. But I decided to go with the Tunze ATO instead of the Apex. Read a few some bad reviews about the apex. This was when the first version was available, maybe the new apex version two is better

The Tunze does have a lot of good reviews. Might go with that one. Thanks for the input. Do you have picture posted of your setup?
 
Pretty plain mostly small frags

Looks really nice. For my aquascape I want to try to make “elevated” or “lifted” I think it’s called scape. Going to have to use some aquascaping adhesive.
Yeah this was just kinda thrown in there. My next build will be a bare bottom with floating rocks and some crazy ledges
