Looks good. You wont likely need everything right off the start (UV Sterilizer, Calcium Reactor, Doser, etc). Just take your time and research. Ask questions before taking huge steps or making drastic adjustments.

Happy Reefing!
 
What do you plan to use the dosing pumps for when you have a calcium reactor?

How do you intend to get suitable water? Do you plan on a RO/DI unit?

Salt?
Test kits for nitrates/phosphates/cal/alk/mag/etc...?
 
Equipment fine but you don't really need a lot of equipment other than a tank, a heater a light, some rock, maybe some sand, and really great 0 TDS water, and a good salt, on a consistent basis.
 
Agree with both of the above.....

Plans for water and test kits.

And you have some redundant equipment. Dosing pumps, and a CalRx? Ph monitor is also not really needed. Most reefers never measure PH.
