Set up help.

A memeber of my reef club asked me for some advice on what to get for his tank setup. He assumes I know more about reefing than I do. He doesnt have internet access. He has a tank selected that is 100gal. Here is the list of equipment I suggested.
1. Power heads to create movement. At least two
2. Protein skimmer to remove dissolved solids and organics.
3. Overflow to allow water to flow out of the tank to sump, fuge or canister filter.
4. Tank or prebuilt for sump/fuge if using one
5. Canister filter if not using a sump/fuge
6. Pump for returning water from the sump/fuge to the tank. DO NOT exceed the flow of your over flow!
7. Plumbing for the overflow and return
8. Glass for baffles if using a tank instead of a prebuilt sump.
9. Silicone tank sealant to attach baffles.
10. Timer power strip/s
11. Lighting for the display tank and sump/fuge.
12. Live sand, or dead sand and a starter culture of live sand.
13. Base rock w/live rock, or live rock. Base rock is cheaper than live and will become live in a few weeks-months if you use a few pieces of live rock.
Did I miss anything.

D#*n it Knew I forgot something.

 

Auto top up?

 

digital thermometer, test kits , some sort of hydrometer or refractometer , salt mix, eventually if not right away a RO water maker

 

If he wants a reef system, I would get the canister filter idea out of his head and go with a refugium based sump only. He will need a good return pump as well. I would say at least 3-4 in tank pumps as well.
