Welcome to R2R! Here is a good links to start with;
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/t...-saltwater-reef-aquarium.138750/#post-1603526
If you're going FOWLR then just make sure to run your LR in a vat for a couple of months then start your tank so it can cycle. After all of your levels balance out you'll be ready for fish and CUC. You'll most likely be able to keep your tank elements stable with regular WCs. The "BIGGEST" item to a successful tank is "PATIENCE"! It will save you much anguish and money

Start a build thread so we can follow and give constructive feedback.

Will it be an hob skimmer or sump, if sump, how big. How much live Rock. The less rock more skimming, then we need to know what kind of bio load do you plan. Heavy, light or regular
