Have a newly set up Nuvo 20 Long set up.
Equipment:
Dual output Nuvo spin heads, Bio-skim protein skimmer, 100W heater, HOB Refugium with grow light, ATO system.
During the cycle I don't have the light on but have a prime 16 on a 12 inch mount.

I'll run Chaeto in my refugium, and Im running chemi-pure blue and some filter floss in my media chamber.

Any suggestions on any more needed equipment/ some good coral suggestions for the tank? I will go light on the fish and inverts, will be mostly coral.

A 100w heater is alot for that tank. I'd add some redundancy to that, like an inkbird to prevent the heater from cooking your tank.

Some good beginner corals are Leathers and mushrooms.
 
^this and zoas and GSP isolated on island and when your tank gets a little more stable you dip your toes into hardy lps such as a duncan and/or a candy cane.

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
