go simple. you can run a tank for really cheap, especially for a smaller aquarium. t5ho fixture, 2 or 4 bulb fixture. hydor nano's. no sump, ac50 if possible, because it is larger and can be converted into a HOB fuge if necessary. imo, its more important for you to learn how to keep your stuff alive and thriving before you go and drop a ton of cash on what is considered to be the future of lighting or the so called best form of nutrient export.

however, if you were planning on keeping this tank longterm, then i would recommend you spend more money and time researching on the quality of the products you're purchasing. however i still advocate for a sumpless reef for smaller aquariums.

stress the importance of maintaining water quality. keep your bio load modest and do your water changes. good luck!
