Makes sense, would you say that the must have equipment to start are:

Tank

Stand

sump

Filter of some kind (socks etc)

Skimmer

Lights

RODI

Pump

Powerheads

ATO system

Heaters

Test kits etc I’m working on acquiring these now but additionally I am going to run a refugium so I’ll need items for that as well. I figure I’ll wait on the controller through the cycling phase so I can get a handle on the science and better appreciate the workload it will help carry once I get one. Plus, I am researching QT methods so I can get the equipment for that as well. So much to learn and plan for!

Good list. I'm happy to add my thoughts.
You can make a post in the general equipment or aquarium discussion board. Put your dreams and goals out there and equipment you're considering. We all love talking about equipment.

Throw a link to it in this thread. The meet and greet is all about the love and the memes
