Looks like a good start! On the Nova light fixture are those just 2 96w PC's or T-5's? Also i didnt see a skimmer listed, do you have one or plan on getting one

I love my light, it has 4 high output t-5s. In it now are 2 atinics and 2 10k, which came withe light. It also has 3 moon lights which are on when my lights are on. I dont run them at night because its in my bedroom and i have a lizard with a red heat light that gives the tank some light. I have the atinics on for an hour before the 10k come on for 8h then the blues go out an hour after, so a total of 10h for atinics and 8h for 10k. And yes there will be a skimmer im just trying to figure out what one will fit in my sump, i will let everyone know when i decided.

Nice tank, the 58g RR is one of my favorites!

I would suggest upgrading the light though, as the Nova fixtures are pretty much junk and not so good for anemones and higher light demanding corals should you chose to go that way in the future.

You can stick with T5's as they are great lights, but the only T5's worth buying are ones with individual reflectors like Tek or Aquactinics.

Great tank, lots of potential there!
