    Looks like a fairly good start, just add test kits and a refractometer or at least a hydrometer.....

    Happy reefing!

    looks like a real good start wouldent need a skimmer rite away and the fuge could wait a little but if money is an object.....make sure u do research on anything u r not familiar with could save u big headaches in the end...

    If you are buying all these nice components why such a small tank?
