There are a lot of options as I’m sure you know. So a few questions.

Tank dimensions
What corals are you planning to keep?
What your light budget?

I’m sure you will get a bunch of great suggestions.

You can also search for tank on here like yours and see what they are running. It’s very helpful seeing successful tanks and the equipment they are using to help in your decisions.
