Hello! New to the forum and to reefing in general. I've owned a freshwater cichlid tank maybe 20 years ago and never had a saltwater tank until now. Right now im in the 3rd week of tank cycling with no livestock. I currently have a 70 gal UNS 90U tank. I want to do some fish and start with softies and maybe some LPS. Where I have it set up, I do not have room for a sump, so I have (2) Ehiem 250 canisters, Aquamaxx HOB skimmer, (2) eflux wave pumps, (2) AI Prime, and a hydor inline heater. Some things I am thinking of getting.. 1 or 2 media reactors, uv sterilizer and a HOB algae scrubber. Since I don't have a sump and kinda don't want to run anymore intakes going into the tank, I might run those inline with the output of the canisters.
Any constructive criticism is welcome. I'm a newb here and have only been watching youtube vids for suggestions.

Welcome! Also new. Pretty intimidating stuff, but worth it!
