Wow, that’s a lot of stuff. Start with your tank and what you want to keep. From there drill down to what you need to support your tank. Looks like a lot of you items are just choosing between size or watts. No one can pick your equipment simply because there are too many variables.

I would recommend sitting down, planning it out a little more. Choose the best option for what you are trying to accomplish pick the equipment you think will support what you want to accomplish. then come back with specific questions that will allow us to focus on giving advise on a certain step.

It will be great, as long as you plan and research .
