54g Mixed reef Setup

[Wretch]

Ok just thought I would list everything I am looking to buy for my mixed reef setup(trying to get most on boxing day/week sales), hoping you guys could let me know if there is something better or if I am missing something.

54g Aqueon RR Corner Tank
Custom stand
25g sump
Eheim Compact+ Pump 2000
Vertex IN80 Protein skimmer
2 100w heaters
120w LED light by twilight (have already)
2 Hydor Koralia Evolution Powerhead (1050 GPH)
50lbs Marcos Rock (will add a few pounds of live rock to this)
60lbs sand
Test kits (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, magnesium, calcium, alkalinity)
refractometer
IO salt
Misc plumbing

Thanks for the help all.

Looks to be a good start wretch. . .

Get a controller and ATO, it will help save you some time. I also have a 54G corner.

Controller isnt necessary. Buit Id definately get an ATO.

As for return pump, why not just go with the Eheim 1262?

ATO is on my list but its not needed to get the tank up and running. When I see how much money I have left it will be one of the first things I get.

The 1262 seemed more then I needed, plus the 1262 costs twice as much ($90 to $180), uses more then twice the power(31w to 80w), it also seems to put out more water (530gph to 900gph) then I need.

Is there some reason why the 1262 is better suited then the compact+?

Going to use the dual float switch from autotopoff.com once I get everything setup
