Here's a more recent picture with a shortlist of my main equipment. This is a very budget setup and not super complicated:
-Light ~Kessil A160 with controller
-Skimmer ~ Corallife Biocube skimmer
- UV sterilizer ~
Amazon brand, I really just use this when I want the water to be super clear.
- Pumps ~Return Pump(200gph), Sicce voyager Nano(270gph), random wavewaker (480 gph)
- Reactor ~ Aqua Gadget Minimax, I just run carbon in this currently
- Heater ~ 200W

I do periodic water changes every couple of weeks, but I regularly check KH and other parameters every week or more. I don't feed corals an awful lot, every couple of weeks as well with some frozen brine shrimp. I dose baking soda for alk every week to keep the tank around 7.5-8, and I use Seachem Reef Fusion 1 for all my calcium/other trace elements. I recently started dosing some iodine, but have been a little inconsistent with it as of late.
Next I'll do current livestock!
