Syncra since 2.0 return pump (568gph)might want the 3.0 thoughts?
Black box LED lights
This is what I want

There is dry rock on Amazon I was going to buy 40lbs or do I need more?
Reef crystal salt
A skimmer not sure what model I was looking at a mini monster skimmer for sale I might grab I need suggestions on this
ATO there is one on Amazon I was going to try
I would love an mp10 but way too much for me I remember a few months ago maybe last year rw4s we're a hot craze then they went to pp4 but I don't hear much about them anymore.
Heater with true temperature
Is there anything I am missing?

Not sure how much of the basics you have, but I'd strongly recommend a nitrate, alkalinity test, and calcium test. Then some 5g buckets, a spare powerhead, and heater. And a refractometer for measuring your salt content.

There's always more, but that'll get you most of the way.

Start with less rock than you think you need, and let your corals grow in. Or do a cool vertical display with your rocks. But don't make your tank look like a rock pile (rookie mistake).
