I don't know if we can help you more, you are starting off right. Great gear!!!
Maybe look into:
- Vortech MP40W
- More LR
- Deltec Fluidizer with NP BioPellets
Show us some pic's once you get things functional.
Have fun!!!

Forget the Ca reactor and kalk stirrer, go for a Profilux doser; go ATI or Sfiligoi for your T5HO lighting, and you'll be pimpin in no time.
Oh yeah, and go top down, that's right, go trimless. Oh yeah.

Personally, I'd probably go for the following for 6 bulbs..
2x ATI Aquablue Specials
2x ATI Blue+
1x KZ Fiji Purple
For the last bulb it's really preference but you could do another Blue+ or even do a 6500k bulb.

tank is done! what a job.
well i could not get the zeovit reactor in my stand.( not enough room)
so i switched to n/p reducing biopellets in a phosban reactor.
i have to go get a 2nd phosban reactor for carbon today.
i am going to dose with some zeovit goodies.
1-coral vitalizer
2-pohl,s xtra
3-amino acid concentrate lps
4-sponge power.
i,ll start doseing in 2 weeks, as it takes 4-6 weeks to see results from the n/p.
i am happy with the way things turned out, just need some sweet frags off dez!
i,ll post some more pics tonight with carbon reactor running.

That's coming along so nicely. That channel running into the rock is cool. How many corals are mounted to the face of that central rock? Almost looks like one...sorta growing downwards as well.
