I based my filtration on the YouTube video: Coralife Biocube Basics, simple filter modifications. I use standard lights and grew all you see with stock lights but I did add a couple 21 LED USA blue strips for more blue when white lights are on full. Take a look at Steve’s LEDs they come in a Biocube hood and from what I understand can grow anything.

I don't think you need an ATO unless you are going away for a few days and need to fix a feeder. I bought the skimmer that fits and it was constantly working over time and ended up taking it back off a couple days later. the cup is just too small unless you modify it to drain into a bottle. I also picked up the UV but never hooked it up. you do need a small wave on it.

is there any other skimmer that youd use instead of the coralife one? My last tank had horrible algae blooms so i feel like i'd need one to help

I'm personally going for a refugium on the new setup. Will add a skimmer if needed.

Are you going with a HOB refugium or are you replacing one of the chambers?
