Hello everyone!
I’m building my first ever reef aquarium and I wanted to ask for some advices when it comes to equipment picks. I dont have a plan yet what will I be keeping however I want to be on a safe side and don’t have to upgrade too much in the future. As far as my set goes so far I have:

1. Reefer 425XL (v3, got good deal on it but no ATO+ for now)
2. 2x Radion X15 pro
3. 2x Nero 5
4. Sicce Syncra 4.0 return pump

I haven’t decided on protein skimmer yet -
I’m leaning towards Simplicty 240DC or one of Bubble Magus?
I’m thinking about going with 2 heaters but I’m not sure about brand and size, I want them to fit in the sump.
What filtration material do I need for my sump? Besides water related stuff (salt, starter bacteria, testing etc) is there anything else I need to start the aquarium?
Thank you!

Hey I just started a build thread of the same size tank it’s not my first tank but I started with 2 mp40s theoretically more then enough flow but I’m adding to more power heads because I think my coral does better the more random the flow as aposed to how strong would love to hear other opinions
