What am I missing for new setup?

[Fatmike92]

Ok here is my new set up. I am trying to do it right this time and have everything planned out.

please tell me what I am missing

Tank: 62g Lagoon AIO
Lights: (2) Radion XR15 Pros
Powerheads: (2) MP40s
Skimmer: Unsure at the moment but a HOB most likely
ATO: Tunze Osmolator
Doser: Bubble Magus

thats it at the moment. is there something else I should be looking to get?

Monitoring Equipment??

let me know what has helped you out the most!

Plans for parameter testing?
Equipment for doing water changes? Are you buying water from LFS, mixing at home?
Are you heating your water?

Live ocean rock if you don't already have rock

- you didn’t say rock, sand, and salt but I assume you have those
- RODI
- Apex with Trident would be good. Couldn’t have a reef without it now that I have it.
- Reactor for carbon/GFO depending on your plans. I have one in case of emergency but don’t run it 247, some people do though.
- fuge lights if you’re planning to run a fuge. Highly recommend the Tunze fuge light
- other testers like Hanna nitrate/phosphate
- heater and controller
- ATO reservoir
- did the tank come with a return pump? If not you’ll need that too.

Sorry I should have been a little more clear.
Yes I have water change stuff and water mix stuff and yes I have a heater

mainly meant extras that not everyone has

I’m leaning towards a controller but don’t know if i can pull the trigger. Other than that I have saliferts

Ha yes! I ordered rock from @LiverockRocks since their stuff is the best

also have live rock from my old set up in a brute

Yes! Ha definitely worth saying though on the rock sand and salt

I do have an RO system already set up from previous tank

apex with trident is on the wish list but don’t know if I can pull the trigger. Maybe Black Friday/cyber Monday

fuge is a future upgrade that I’m planning out but I’ll check out the tunze light!

and yes to all the rest! Thank you!
