Hello all

I have just joined the forum. Previously I had a 135 litre Fluval M90 tank which came as a full kit : pump, skimmer, lights etc. Made the usual beginner mistakes but really enjoyed it. Moving home forced me to sell the tank, but now I would like to build a new one for fish and coral.

So far I am thinking about using the triton method with the following kit:

Tank - Red Sea Reefer 350
Lights - Aqua Illumination Hydra 26
Powerheads - 2 x Vortech MP40

I like the tank to be immaculate at all time, so am thinking of using an algae reactor rather than a fuge.

Could you please let me know what you think about the above kit, suggest alternatives and also ideas for:

Skimmer
Algae Reactor
Pump

Possibly a UV sterliser too. I know opinions differ on how useful they are. Keen on the idea opr reducing the chance of ich though.
 
Welcome to the forum! I’m personally not a fan of Triton method but your equipment choices look good, be sure to start a build thread in the members tanks section of the forum when you get your tank.
