New to reefing came from High Tech Planted tanks

Hello, My name is Robert.
I made the switch from freshwater co2 injected planted tanks to saltwater about a year ago (thought it would be easier......i was wrong). Just now starting to build the reef.
Currently its a Red Sea 350 with a Maxspect Gyre for circulation and the RL90's for lighting.
Finding out the Gyre is creating Waaaayyyyy to much flow for the tank and had to turn it as low as possible so switching it out to an MP40. And switching the lights out to Rapid Led Corona's.
For the control box its an apex with the apex ato (had growing pains at first but they finally fixed the dang firmware) and an apex core-15 return pump.
Filtration is a small Chaeto section with a Kessil H80 for the fugelight and a Red Sea RSK-600 skimmer.
The Goal is a mixed tank with some SPS at the top.
