Help me optimize newly started SPS/LPS tank

Hey,

i am new to the hobby and hope that someone can help me pick the equipment needed to make a kickass SPS/LPS tank.



The tank is 60x60x60 and have a 50x50x50 sump.





Currently i have the following equipment:



Jebao wavemaker (Wp25(?))



Tunze Turbelle Nanostream (6015) and return pump (about 2000l/h)

Skimmer: Tunze 9410



Lamp: T5 with 6 bulbs: 2 Giesmann Pure Actinic, 1 Giesmann power chrome Aquablue,

2x sylvania coralstar and 1x 10k.



In the sump i have: 3l with Seachem matrix, in the bubbletrap i have: 200ml seachem matrix carbon and 100ml purigen.



So what more equipment is needed to make a kickass SPS aquarium? Reactors? How many LPH and what media? Powerheads? Dosing pump (if yes; what to dose)? and so on...



Do i have to dose something other than Cal, mag, KH, phytoplankton? Stronium, trace elements for example? My LFS sells ATM, Seachem, Korallen, Red Sea and Seachem Aqua Vitro.



Regarding the Powerheads: where to place them?

Currently the tunze and Jebao are placed in the rear glass pointing forward.







One last thing:

When can i add more SPS?

The tank is 3 weeks old, i currently have: 6 anthias, 1 yellow tang, 1 blue tang, 3 firefish, 2 clowns, 1 quadricolor (it split 1 week ago), 2 montipora, 1 acropora, 1 favia, and loads of zoa. (had to add them from the old tank - it was leaking).



However, it seems like everything is doing great. The fish are eating good, all polyps are showing, sps seems to be growing (white growth tips)



Mag: 1110

Cal: 450

Kh: 12

Phosfate: 0.02

Nitrate: 10



I havent done any water changes yet. But have been dosing: Seachem magnesium, aragamilk, purple up and Seachem Calcium.



Sorry for the bad English (native language = Norwegian æøå)





Thanks for all help!
