Setting up a 130 gallons, need help with the shopping list

[Scope]

Hey, I'm new here and preparing for a big purchase after doing my research for 3 years of reading and YT vids, now that I've finally moved to my own place.

The tank will be 50 inch wide (125cm) with a sump, eventually sps dominated (acro if I dare) and I have the ambition of going "minimal or no water change" route after things get stable after some time. So I need efficient nutrient export and reliable way to keep parameters stable. For that I was eyeing the Octo Regal 200-INT skimmer and the Octo SRO-CR3000 calcium reactor (I have a co2 setup from freshwater). For flow, I'll need to keep it high so I picked Maxspect MJ-GF316 gyre flow pump, and combining it with Jebao MOW-16.

Are there any other things I should look out for? Are there better options on the market?

I'm pretty sure that your going to need a gfo and carbon reactor when you go that route as well. If the acros get big enough you might not need the gfo. Dosing Pump!!

Definitely map out your stand and plumbing set up with all of your equipment drawn in before you try to actually build anything.

Difficult to recommend specific brands as people have many opinions.
I would skip calcium reactor for now as if you will need it it might be in a year or two when your coral population will expand. At the beginning you can just dose Ca and alkalinity.
Everyone needs dosing pumps, light, controller is highly recommended but not essential. Test kits including refractometer,mixing buckets, RODI system and larger containers to store water and many other bits and pieces.

Thanks! I was hoping I can get away without a dosing pump by using calcium reactor - Seachem has media that supposedly contains most of the essential elements. For light I'll be getting PARmaster from Skylight and will definitely upgrade my current RO setup to DI. What kind of controller do you have in mind?
