Hello all! New to saltwater, had some African Cichlid tanks in the past so I’m pretty familiar with freshwater. Going for a nano build to start, clown pair w/ some fun corals. I think I’ve got the basics down, any tips for someone new to saltwater?

Build list-
Innovative Marine 15gal AIO w/ custom stand
Ai blade (grow)
Ai axis 40 pump
Nature Dimensions nano fleece roller
Dual return nozzles
Helio 50w heater
Icecap ATO w/ 2.5gal reservoir
Kraken lid w/ feed hole
Ai Nero 3 wave maker (Not sure if I’ll need it)
CaribSea Fiji Pink
CaribSea liferock nano tree
Ceramic bio media in second chamber just for added surface area
Think that’s it?

Plan to mount all the controllers on one side of the tank, cable management should be fun!

Looks good so far.

Id personally leave the ceramic biomedia out. Leaching aluminum could eventually cause a problem.
