#1 start with a plan.
Getting all equipment before setup is perfect.
Equipment:
Tunze 9410dc skimmer
I run a 9430dc in my 120 but started with a 9410dc
Tunze return pump
I love Tunze powerheads but have been quite impressed with Jeabo powerheads. You can get 4 Jeabos for the price of 1 Tunze.
MP40 powerheads if you dont want cords in your tank.
Lifegaurd top flow reactor for carbon, gfo and any other media
I would get AI prime leds that clip on the back glass for a streamlined look.
FOWLR tanks dont need alot of light. 2 AI 16hds should work and look good.
Some type of net cover to keep fish in the tank.
Tunze ato with 10 gallon reservoir
Ro/di system for your makeup water.
Test kits
Tropic Marin floating hydrometer is what I use for SG.
Quality heater
IO salt
Some type of 2 part to keep alk, ca, mag stable. If you use live rock coralline will grow and eat up the big 3.
That should get you pointing in the rignt direction.
