I am moving soon and my mom nows how badly i don't want to
move so she offered me 7,500$ so set up a new reef tank. I am planning on having a 4'x2'x2' acrylic tank. I will post pictures of my plans, but would like input on my equipment list, as I am only 16 I don't know that much on equipment. Here is the list and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Euipment
Eheim 1262-return
Eheim 1260-skimmer pump
2x250 watt ice cap ballast
2x coralvue lumen bright large reflectors
1" scwd for close loop return
reefkeeper 2 controller
2x10k ushios
2x14k sps
korallin calcium reactor-have no idea as to what i am doing on calcium reactors
jager 250 watt heater
Giesman 54 2 bulb retrofit kit
2x d-d giesman actinic blue
tunze powerhead- Really would like input on this one do not know which model would be best for this size tank, will be sps dominant.

return pump for closed loop- was thinking a poseidon PS4 but also don't know which brand is best on external pumps.
