Welcome to TR Tom
I'd introduce your clean up crew first- maybe after 6 weeks depending on what your tests are reading. Salifert test kits are the best when it comes to testing water. You will want to test for calcium,
ammonia,
PH,
ALK,
nitrites, and
nitrates *at a minimum*. Anything you dose- you will need to test for. Some people dose
Iodine, I don't think it's really necessary- water changes will replenish that for you. If you dose it, you need to test for it so you don't overdose. Save your money and not buy all those reef additives like I did.
CA/Kalk is all I add for the most part- may need
ALK and
PH buffer too.
For fish- start thinking of what types you want- always introduce your least aggressive fish first. Don't buy a damsel whatever you do!!
Tell us what you plan for the tank. What kind of fish and corals?
Do you need a heater?
Sounds like you have a great start so far- keep askin questions
How about a few pictures??
