For now the only advise is to do what my son is doing now with his reef tank. He is following my advise and using the K.I.S.S. {Keep It Simple Silly} procedure for now. You have some of your basics and if you are patient you will have a nice system. Keep to taking it slow and budget yourself to a bit here and there and build it up slowly. Dont try to stock it initially with high end corals or fish. Get good advise on really hardy fish and corals and start there. Check around but dont try to rush the set up. You have your tank and some equipment but in my opinion once you get your water mixed up, The only thing I would put in it to start is just some live rock, semi-cured or full cured, whatever you can get at a good price. Then cycle the tank for about 4-6 weeks and maybe add a couple of chromis to cycle it some more. Be patient, Listen to other reefers and check out a few reef forums. Lots out there, and lots of advise on all of them. Its nice to see young people getting into this hobby. Although it can be very frustrating at times, it is one of the most relaxing and fun hobbies there is.
