55 gallon tank build

I have a 55 gallon tank I picked up from a petco $1 for 1 gallon sale. It's not drilled and is tempered glass so I have to use a hob overflow box my equipment thus far includes :

- BRS 4 stage rodi system

-BRS single media reactor

-BRS Filter sock mount and filter sock

- Eshopps pf-300 overflow

-Maxi jet 1200 for the media reactor

- mag drive 5 for a return.



Equipment I'm getting in

- Aqutic life 2 bulb ho t5 and a timer ( these lights are link able so a 2 bulb can turn to a 6 bulb very easily)

- bubble magus nac 3+ protien skimmer

- 2 hydor koralia 1150 GPh

- 60 lbs of carib sea Fiji pink

- 55 lbs of BRS reef saver rock

- jbj automatic top off with aqua lifter pump



Filter media and additives

-BRS small inginite carbon

-BRS GFO

-BRS KALKWASSER

-ESV b ionic 2 part ( calcium and alkalnity)

- Doctor foster and smith live nitrifying bacteria ( to start up the cycle and speed it up)





I am new to this hobby this is my first tank I'm trying to stay cost effective and need advice on my tank setup and btw it am hard plumbing this system. It's gonna be mostly softies with some sps.
