So I guess what I’m wanting to know is if this NEW set up that I want to run is going to be a balanced system to grow and thrive anything
without having to do much. I’m a quadriplegic and have my family help me with my tanks so the more maintenance free the better. I also don’t have money to spend on fancy equipment.

Zetlight qmaven ll 6600 led fixture
thin custom lid
65 gallon tall tank Drilled
Blue background
zacro automatic fish feeder
caribsea Hawaiian black sand
filter floss

Life Rock?? Do I need this? Cheaper route?
wave maker?? Can’t find an affordable one yet that I like. Any recommendations?
water heater? do I even need one? I live in Florida and in the man room stays around 77 78 79°F

20 gallon Aqueon sump with socks

Refugium?? Or??
if I go refugium i found the matching Aqueon sump Led light, And do the whole filter media?sand?live rock? Chaeto.

Simplicity 120 DC protein skimmer. Do I need a protein skimmer with this setup?
DC 800 GPH return pump
Jebao ds3 dosing pump
dosing calcium, ALK, and magnesium

I want to say that’s all I got so far LOL. If there’s anything else that anybody thinks I may need please let me know.
Thanks in advance for anybody answering and helping me out! Much appreciated

I love my Eheim automatic feeder. Also, I just bought an RO DI system from AirWaterIce and a Tunze ATO 3155. I am a newbie too to the salty side. The RO DI system price was competitive and they offer a lifetime warranty. A friend of mine here in Nashville has a large tank and he does not use a heater at all.
