Mj1200 return pump

InTank media basket

Mp10es or Wes or qd if you wanna splurge

Aquatic life 115 skimmer, many options but this one works well for me doing 5g wc a week sometimes 7g.

Neotherm 100w heater

Ato

Mag float and vertex duplex mag cleaner

Nano Box duo with storm or bluefish

25# special grade dry sand

16-20# live rock

Spectrapure 90gpd refurbished ro/di

Aquatech 8800 booster pump if needed

Bucket or box of good salt

Use stock return for mixing pump

Vertex Refractometer

Salifert test kits, api will be good enough while cycling but recommend you upgrade after that.

Don't forget some inTank floss and media of your choice. I really like Boyd chemi bags for changing media and buying bulk media as it is cheaper bagging your own over the long run.

This is all what I use and have been very happy with it all. Hope this helps you a lil as far as making a list. :)

You forgot a RO/DI installation

Since you won't be using the hood and many people upgrade the return pump, it would save you a lot of money if you buy the tank only (replacement tank) and stand. The tank only comes with just the tank with no hood, lights, pump, etc. but it comes setup with the chambers and everything. You end up saving over $100 dollars if you do that and I think your list is good btw

Cart looks good. Two suggestions though.

if it were me, I'd ditch the API test kit, I've never had any luck getting accurate readings with them. (May have just gotten a bad batch).

 

Also THIS is a very useful upgrade for the Biocube worth looking into.
