Starting up a new hobby

[tamama]

Dear all,

I believe you may have seen this kind of post for many times and I also feel a bit embarrased to ask some really simple questions while I am planning to setup a new marine tank.

Here it is my plan.

Tank: I am asking quotation from N30 to custom make a 60x60x40cm (10mm) braceless cabinet tank with sump. After reading much, I decided to go for a proper cabinet tank instead of using my canister filters. Is such tank dimension alright? May I know if I should use the overflow thingy hanging at the side of the tank?

Pump: Eheim 1260

Media: I am going to buy some bacteria house to place them into the sump and buy the magical mud for the refugium. I havent looked into it for much details. Just know that it is providing much nutrient to the tank

Skimmer: Tunze 9002.000 DOC Skimmer

Light: I have a aquazonic T5 4 tubes. May I know what light tubes I should change to? And is LED light is as effective as T5? If so, which one would be ideal for an econmic budget?

Wave maker: Tunze sth sth.. forgot the model, it should be less than $100

Chiller: I bought one 2nd hand Arctica 1/4.

I read that a lot of people are using reactors and it seems to me that there are many types of them. May I know if the setup I planned above is enough for me to keep some fishes, soft corals and shrimps?

I may have neglected a lot of things as I am still new and I do not want to spend a lot on this.

Thank you all in advance.

for the above livestock, your setup should be enough.

better to drill an overflow, the hang on side one has possibility of failing... with very bad consequences
