Budget is key to giving good advice.

In general, I would purchase less equipment that is nicer rather than lots of cheap equipment. For example, if I could purchase really nice lights, or budget lights and a budget UV I would skip the UV and just get the lights.

I would always recommend buying good fundamentals and then worrying about extra equipment later.

Welcome to the forum syedazeem,
What are you keeping, just fish or corals too ?
Sound like you are planning a sump too.
Lots of us run without uv, but we all, mostly use reverse osmosis de ionized water systems for best water.
 
And a tank that size you want an automtic top off (ato) system to replenish evaporating water. Tunze makes the best.
