Help with equipment for Waterbox Peninsula 5526

[Andrew Stevens]

Hello,

I'm new to reefing and need and don't yet know what equipment (lights, pumps etc) I should buy for my Waterbox Peninsula 5526. I own the tank but have not yet set it up, as we are putting the tank on a hardwood floor above a finished basement.

I just learned about the Kessil shimmer, which is the reason for the Kessil light preference. I know we want the tank as automated as possible (Apex system etc), and was wondering what equipment (including brand and model) you would put onto a 130.4 gallon mixed reef peninsula tank?

If it helps, I would love to stock the following fish:

Clownfish (2)
Marine Betta
Yellow Tang
Purple Tang (if possible to have with yellow tang)
Blue Tang (if the tank is big enough)
Banggai Cardinalfish (4-6)
Blenny (Starry, Lawnmower)
Fish and Inverts to clean the tank (open to all suggestions)


And I want to stock the following corals:

Zoas (a lot)
Clam
Torch (a few like the Green tipped purple)
Acros
Acans
Trachy
Trumpet
Open Brain
Bubble
Button

Thank you!

Andrew
