I’ve got a 3 month old reef tank, after owning a freshwater for 5 years. It’s a Tideline 47G AIO. In the back from left to right, I’ve got a sock filter, the heater, the pump, a DIY refugium using an Innovative Marine Chaeto light (photo included), and an Icecap AIO 240 protein skimmer. My light is a Fluval Sea Marine 3.0.

No corals yet but soon…

What corals are you hoping to put in there?
 
I've watched and read hours of content and more or less settled on a short list of beginner corals:
- zoanthids
- sinularia leather
- toadstool
- xenia
- green star polyps
- euphylia
- mushrooms
- bubble

Very nice set up! It looks like you did your research and took your time with the items you selected.

Nice stock list!
I'd rethink the xenia. If you are able to isolate it to a rock, I say go for it if you like it. If not, it will slowly take over what you have it placed on. Similar to GSP.
