The set up looks fine to me I honestly don't have some of the stuff you have but my tank is half the size.

If you plan to put corals in Kenya tree coral and leather coral are easier to care fore and fun to watch grow.

Looks to be a great start, wouldn't waste money on a UV would do a carbon reactor instead.

Welcome.
Looks like a nice setup but you may consider a power head or 2 for in tank flow depending on what you plan on adding.

Thanks! Looking forward to filling it up with water!
Forget to mention I do have a power head in there.
Also my RO/DI filter

Along with the RO/DI think about an auto top off. They really do make life easier.
