After careful considerations, here is my equipment list. Important factors was reliability and silent operation
Equipment list:
Return Pump: Maxspect Duo turbine - I can't hear a single sound when it operates.
Wavemaker: Maxspect XF330 x 2 - Also another equipment that is silent
Skimmer: Nyos Quantam 120 - Heard alot of good reviews, price is steep though
Lights: 2 x Ecotech Radion XR15 with diffusers (Custom hanging kit to achieve almost 20inch high)- Good reviews, success in many reef tanks
Aquarium controller - Neptune APEX EL with DOS automatic water change
Auto Top off: Tunze Osmolator
Chiller: Hailea HS28A - might consider changing to arctica in future
No3,Po4 export: Pacific Sun Algae Reactor - running cheato, opposite light cycle (Ordered direct from pacific sun) Will do a review soon
Doser: Kamoer X4 wifi dosing with skimz dosing container
2 x Glass Reservoir for mixing salt and storing RODI - Used for auto water change and ATO
Jebao wave maker for salt mix station
Electronic RODI unit
Salt : Tropic Marin classic / pro (This salt maintains its salinity and calcium up to 3 weeks in storage and does not leave a thick residue in the mixing reservoir, ideal for auto water change)
2 part dosing with ESV
Rocks: Caribsea Life rocks (Arch only)
The entire system will be on automatic water change. This will be done using the Apex DOS auto water change system. I decided to go auto because on the days I am away, the water change can still be completed on schedule. The only work I will be required to do is putting salt into the mixing reservoir.
Electronics are all mounted on a custom size plywood to fit the sides of the stand. Holes were DIY for cable management. The great thing about this is the panel can be moved sideways to do cable management from the back
