UNS 75SA Build

[ame16]

Hey all — making good progress on slowly but surely acquiring equipment ahead of my UNS 75SA delivery in early August (hopefully). Here’s where I’m at:

Bought

• Tank: UNS 75SA
• Stand: UNS 75P
• Light: AI Hydra Edge 44HD
• Light Mount/Bracket: AI HMS
• ATO: Tunze Osmolator 3 Nano
• RODI: BRS 75gpd 4 Stage Plus
• Test Equipment: TDS gauge (Amazon, generic)
• Test Equipment: Refractometer (Amazon, generic)

Need To Buy

• Wavemaker: Tunze 6040
• Heater: TBD
• Heater Controller: TBD (Inkbird?)
• Thermometer: TBD
• Lid: Kraken Reef (probably)
• Automatic Feeder: TBD
• Test Kit: TBD
• ATO Reservoir: TBD
• Power Strip(s): Kasa

For ease of reference, here are the tank measurements:

• Dimensions (LxWxH): 29.52" x 17.71" x 11.81"
• Tank Volume: 26.7 Gallons

I’m good on most of the big items, but open to suggestions and feedback on everything else. Tank will be mixed reef. Since this is my first foray into the hobby, starting out mostly with soft corals, but I’m hoping the light + shallow tank depth will set me up well as I progress. Wife and daughter fell in love with the Mocha Storm Clownfish, so I’ll be looking to add a pair along with a goby+pistol (still researching specifics here). I’d like to keep a “spot” or two open on the fish roster to add whatever strikes our fancy (and works with our setup, of course).

In terms of things I could use some particular advice on, I’m curious if the Tunze 6040 is a good match for this tank. I do like the Nero 3, and app integration with lights is appealing, but reviews are mixed. Also very open to suggestions on automatic feeders since I’d like to order the lid as soon as the tank arrives (need to provide measurements). Please also feel free to point out anything I may be missing.
