Hello all,

First post here, I have not had a reef tank for about 10 years, when I was in HS. Looking to get back into it just want to hear some thoughts.

Planning on getting:
150G Acrylic 60x24x24 with dual overflow in the corners
Aluminum T-Slot Stand Kit
Custom built sump with around 50 gal capacity

Need some advice on the next steps:
I will need a heater and a chiller (in NW FL in a limited HVAC room)
Sump setup, would like to simplify maintenance
RODI System in a second room, most efficient way to do water changes and store/mix water
Getting live rock/sand in the area or shipped
Controllers for heater/chiller
Reliable return pump brands


Open to all suggestions

Thanks
