I am in the planning stages of a new tank. I think the Red Sea Reefer XL 425 is a good size for the spot I have chosen. It will be an LPS dominant mixed reef. Does my equipment list look reliable and appropriately sized for the system?

Reefer XL 425 (112 gallon total system volume)
Sicce Syncra Silent 5.0 (1321 GPH)
Reef Octopus Classic 150 INT
Tunze Osmolator 3155 ATO
x2 Jaeger 150W heater
x2 Nero 5 powerhead
x2 ReefLED 90

I am also debating adding an Aqua UV 25W.
 
Everything looks good, if anything I'd up the skimmer size. Once you get the tank loaded up with livestock you will be happy you did. What kind a rock are you thinking about? Caribsea makes some rock trees that are pretty cool
 
I was thinking about getting some marco rock and some mortar and making something.
 
If I went up to the XL 525 (1 ft longer), would that open many fish options I could have that wouldn't have worked in the 425?
 
Hey bumping this up.. what reef octopus did you eventually get for the 424?
