New red sea reefer 350

[Raed]

I'm about to purchase a Red Sea reefer 350 and would like to have a top notch high tech set up that is easy to maintain and control remotely as well. I have been out of the hobby for a while so I'm sure there is a lot of new technology, whether it is controllers, lighting ... Etc

I would appreciate your input for the must haves for this set up and what brands

lighting
controllers
Skimmer
auto dosing
pump
power heads or wave makers
Chiller
RODI
Calcium reactor?
Phosphate reactor?
Sump light?
Better backup

Thanks!

lighting ati 8 bulb hybrid power module
controllers- apex gold package
skimmer- mini bubble king 200
dosing - neptune dos
pump- vortech new dc pump
power head- 1 gyre 150 or 2 vortech mp40qd
chiller- overrated jbj artica
rodi- bulk reef supply 6 stage
no calcium reactor if dosing
x2 mr1 shorty reactor for phosphate and carbon
no fuge- with that skimmer and reactor you wont be able to keep macro alage alive

this is optimal for sps ..you can easily keep ulns...makes life easer with lack of alage growth...i wud run barebottom or 1/4" of reeflakes ..just enough to keep glass covered

Thanks for your input, how is the sunlight shimmering effect with the ATI 8 bulb hybrid? And how do you compare this fixture with the kessil or hyra?

How is the tank? I think I am going to with this vs. the new E-series red sea max

Love it and definitely recommend it! With right equipment it is very silent

Would buy a tank, buy or make a stand, build a sump that is big enough for a large refugium, and install a ghost style overflow. less money, more tank, with less maintenance.
