In the process of rebuilding my reefer 170. Cramming a lot of equipment in the tiny cabinet, but I think it will all work well. Have a look and let me know your thoughts! I'm sure most people will consider this over engineered for such a tiny tank, but I'm trying to make care as easy as possible this time around. Have fish, corals, rock, and bio media from the old setup hanging out in a 40 gallon tub from tractor supply while this gets rebuilt.

Equipment List:
RedSea Reefer 170
ReefLED 90 Primary Light
Aquatic Life 24" T5HO Fixture
ClearView Lid
ApexEL
NYOS Quantum 120 Skimmer
Reef Octopus Varios 2 Return Pump
Tunze ATO
Custom 8.5 gallon ATO reservoir from Advanced Acrylics
2x IceCap 1K Gyre
BRS 200W Titanium Heater (APEX Controlled)
Jebao Doser
Sicce 0.5 pump for BRS mini carbon reactor
(Exits to acrylic napkin holder drip plate with Xport BIO plate cut to fit for aerobic nitrification.)
Xport NO3 cubes in a 64oz Plastic Jar with lid with four 3/16" holes according to recommendations for anoxic denitrification. (Will dose NoPox)
MarinePure Spheres in bubble trap baffle and overflow cup area. Poly floss on top in cup.
APC 1500 Battery Backup for return pump

To be added:
