Red Sea Reefer 250

What would you recommend for lights, skimmer, return pump, and heater for a Red Sea Reefer 350? I was thinking 2 Radion XR15 Pro, Reef Octopus Essence S 130, and Neptune COR 15. But I don't think I'm going to buy the controller right away so probably a different pump.

I went with the reef octopus varios pump for my main return phmp

Ok change of plans. I found the last Prostar 200 for $2,200 that is now over $3,000. I'm getting 3 Radion XR15 Pro. The sump doesn't have a spot for a refugium so can I put the skimmer with the return pump? Or should I upgrade the sump later?

I’m gonna upgrade sump at a later date. Also, for refuge, you could use the 2.5 gal ATO that comes with the sump. I saw a DIY setup in which you drill it. I’m thinking of doing that!

So my build completely changed, should I delete this and start over? I have a Prostar 200. And thinking about modifying the sump to a triton method sump. Thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
