Is this all equipment you have already or are looking to buy? Looks good regardless. I'm guessing you went with the little giants to keep the aquarium free of equipment?

Quite a stocking list. I'd add an extra female anthias. I love the anthias but haven't braved a trio yet. Defintely don't get all the clean up crew at first. I'd get a bit more nassarius and a bit less turbos. I'd not get as many hermits but don't listen to me too much on that one because I'm anti-hermit crab lately.

Does the light have individual reflectors? If so, good. If not, you'll want them to help with that clam and bta. I'd also wait on those until the tank is at least 6 months old. I'm not familiar with some of the equipment. How much flow will you have?
