New Set up (opinions)

I am coming close to beginning my first salt water tank. I will be doing fish and coral. Here is my equipment so far:

• 30gal Hexagon Tank
  
  
• Aquarium Heater 10in 200 Watt - Up to 55 Gal
  
  
• Aqueon Quite Flow %0 Pro
  
  
• Hydor Slim Skim Nano Internal Protein Skimmer 23-35gal
  
  
• LCD Digital Aquarium Thermometer
  
  
• Salinity Refractometer
  
  
• (2) Hydor Nano Evolution 240gph Wavemaker
  
  
• 0PPM Portable 100gpd RO + DI Filtration System
  
  
• TDS Meter
  
  
• AI Prime HD LED
  

Pending is

• Carib Sea 20lbs live sand
  
  
• 20lbs live rock (Fiji)
  
  
• Power strip surge protector
  
  
• Instant Ocean Sea Salt Mix
  
  
• API Saltwater Master Test Kit
  

What do you guys think about the equipment so far? Any tips once I begin to cure the live rocks?


Thanks to all

Hello!
Looks pretty good to me, might want to look into a ATO (Best investment I made for my tank)
Here is a great resource for starting a tank.

Welcome to R2R, you've come to the right place

i recommend a redsea test kit. API wont cut it.

The ATO sounds like a great idea that would save plenty of work, mu issue lies on the space. I don't really have a constant supply connection nearby. I will have to just manually refill the tank on a weekly basis.

Never heard of the RedSea test kit. Does it cover all and more than API?
