Can I have some opinions on my new tank...

[ecervine]

I bought a 75gal oceanic reef ready tank yesterday. However, I did not get the oceanic extras. Instead I bought a PRO 150 filter and a SUP MAG 700 pump. I already have two powerheads and lights. Can I have some opinions and suggestions about what else I should get. Thanks-Erica

You have a "reef ready" tank...? Drilled for an overflow...?
Are you planing on adding a sump beneth...? If so you would also need a return pump...
Do you have a skimmer yet...? Get the best you can afford...
You also might want to look into a refugium for extra water capacity, pod production, and macros for water purifying...
Speaking of water purification, have you looked into a RO filter yet...?

good stuff above, I have to add

• Lighting - what do you want to keep? is your lighting sufficient?
  RO/DI filter is a good idea - unless you can get good quality RODI water locally. Although - with a 75g assuming you have a sump ~50g you're going to have ~2 gallons of evaporation a day - keep that in mind.
