Hi,

I have bought my Reefer 350 and I am getting the additional equipment listed below.

I have a lady who installs and does Aquarium maintenance that is going to set it up for me, as I have a disability and can't do it. However she hasn't installed, set up a Reefer before so is unsure what additional items are needed?

This is where I can do with some help - a list?

I am currently going to order the following items;
Deltec SC 1351 Internal
Ecotech Marine Vectra M1 DC Centrifugal Pump,
2 x Aqua Illumination Hydra 26 HD

Any thoughts or other items I may need.

TY Mark
 
Is the Deltec a filter? Do you have a sump? Is the tank drilled? I'd recommend a skimmer for sure if you don't have one. There are also additional tests for saltwater that need to be done. Along with nitrates, pH, and temp, you need to test for alkalinity , salinity, calcium and magnesium (the last two are more important for corals, not so much with fish). Here's a great article on getting started and good luck!
