Setting up my first SW FOWLR

Hi, I am in the planning stages of my first Saltwater aquarium.

Tank is 29 gal, I will list what the equipment I am considering and would like oppinions, anything I might be missing.

Lighting: 30 inch Current USA SunDial T5 HO 4x24W w/ Timers & LED
Skimmer: AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer with Maxi-Jet 1200 Pump
Powerheads: I am looking at the Hydor Koralia, but was wondering what size and how many
Heaters: what would you guys recomend,
Salt: Instant ocean Reef crystals
Substrate: Sand, is there any recommended brand, and how many lbs needed I was thinking 30lbs, but not sure if that will be too much or not enough.
Live rock: Again I was thinking 50lbs, please let me know what you think.

Other stuff:
Testing supplies: what brand do you recomend
Refractometer
Thermometer
I am going to use Ro/di water, but will probably buy the water for now, untill we buy a unit.


I am sure I missing alot of things, As for livestock, I don't plan on adding more then 3 fish, so any recomendations of 3 fish that will all get along. Having a 6yr old daughter who loved the movie nemo, one of the residents must be a orange clown fish

 

Welcome to 3Reef>>>>>>

Here's the heater I use.....

Aquarium Heaters: Visi-Therm Stealth Heater

 

Have used this type of thermometer before... Can't find a pic of the one I have now....

Aquarium Water Temperature: Coralife Digital Thermometer

 

A occelaris clown is a good fish for a 29 gallon, plus there hardy..... mine was tank raised....

 

As for a power head I would get a couple of the nano versions. There on sale right now...

Water Pumps & Wavemakers: Hydor Koralia Water Circulation Pumps

 

Thanks baugherb, I will definatly look into those

 

I'm pretty new myself... At least here, there's a ton of people to help... A refractometer is your best route.. I have a hydrometer now, but am getting a refractometer for father's day... I buy my water premixed, so not sure about the best saltmix.. Everyone has there opinions.. Do a search on 3reef.... There has been alot of polls done the this issue.... I had a royal gramma in with my clown fish and they got along very well.. Also a goby would get along with just about anything....
