Lagos nanoreef

[Pfrd]

Hi there, I'm going to start my first reef and it will be a nano reef.

Tank-Boyu tl 550 33g
Tunze nanostream 6025

I wiil not use the uv filter or the rubbish midia that came whit the tank from factory, as I live in Algarve the water will be natural.
For top of what should I use?
For layout something like André Silvestre made, or bonsai style.

I want to have for now softies and some lps but in future want to upgrade the system the lights skimmer and return pump to move on to sps and lps like acans.

Any help is welcome?
