60 cube build

[wku5]

I am starting fresh with brand new everything.

Build consists of..
60 deep blue cube
Sicce 700 gph return
Skimz 121
Eshopps wd-100cs but not running as wetdry
Mp40wes
Radion gen 3
Reef link

What else should I consider for full blown sps.

a good quality doser for sure. lots of nice ones out there like litermeter3, bubble magus. also, an auto top off unit would be nice.

Yes a three part dosing pump,containers, salt mix, test kits, chiller, buckets, really good live rock.

I would agree with the doser however I would stay away from bubble magus unless you really like/need this doser for some reason.

Dont get me wrong its a good doser so far. I have it/use it but I cant set the doser to dose for example 3 times between 1 and 5.

I wanted more control in the doser as I want to dose SLOWLY 40-60 mls of alk between 12 am and 8 am. Then I want my calcium to dose also SLOWLY 40-60 mls between 11 am and 7 pm.

With the magus you either dump it all at one time or you decide to dose 40-60 mls 1 2 4 6 8 etc times with in a 24 hour period.

Also while not a big deal the directions are garbage. It was actually pretty funny reading them to my husband. Very funny stuff. Even without directions the programming is cake.

I'm just saying if I could do it over again I would decide differently.

Auto Top Off (ATO) is very necessary IMO or you will have swinging stats also. Adding 2-3 gallons a day can be a pain.

Everything you get is about keeping it stable.

Forgot to mention I've got the ato. I picked up a tunze osmoslitaer or however you spell it. I wouldn't need a Doser until my tank is setup and filling with corals would I? At the start there's not going to be enough there using up the nutrients I wouldn't think.

I also though about running zeovit.
