Welcome to R2R!

Looks like you are off to a great start!

I love Kessil lights, and depending on what you want to keep, you may find that you need two of their A160 Tuna Blue lights over your 20 gallon tank. Or, maybe go with 1 of their larger A360 lights.

Best of luck on your new build!

Ditch the aquarium thermometer for a heater controller like inkbird. Also 2 wavemakers is better than 1. Helps create turbulence and less dead spots.

How are you liking the 60A so far? This was one I had my eye on.
I absolutely loved it. Just acquired Kessil a360x and controller for gradual rap up/down and moonlight program. Using the acclimate program as I added a fish, 2 hermit crabs and a banded shrimp. Have 2 other shrimp, hermit crab, bunch of snails, cohog, anenome, feather duster and about 7 small fish. So far doing well. Greatest challenge has been getting food amount settled to hold down Nitrate. Dose all for reef and Red Sea AB+ in very small amounts daily. I know some will get upset at this next fact, but the reef is only 4 weeks out of cycling. Very stable in all paramaters but I stay on the testing daily for ph, alk, amonia, no2, no3 and calcium. No real corals yet but I am anxious to get some so that the alkalinity gets used up. AIO is the way to go.!
