I have had my salt tank for about a month now... Being new to this hobby there are things out there that I had no idea even existed.....Is there a website that supplies everything, or at least info on things I might need?

I just now discovered the Sock filter.... had no idea... I have been to many salt stores only to find very little inventory and certainly not any special items like.. auto top off switches, sumps, PH meters, skimmers, and other things I would like to look at and ponder if I need them or not.... I am a gadget junkie.... I have seen every youtube video on tank set ups... I have searched google (but don't know what to search for) and I have read most of the post on this site....

What I have currently... 75 gallon that I am leaning towards being a reef tank. I have new lights.. (not t-5) had no clue otherwise I prob would have both them instead) I have a refrometer, RO/DI system, salt, I have a refugium on order, skimmer, UV light, buckets, ... I would like to just view a site of all the extra goodies that I may need... like a reverse timer to shut down a pump for a while and it turn back on by itself, not sure what to look for as I have not had enough exposure to the salt environment..... any help would be appreciated.... thank you Cope.

It's actually a great questions.

Look up the profilux controller, it's essentially a computer that runs your tank makes it almost totally automated.

Look up kalk reactors

Magnovore algae floats.

think generator just in case of hurricane
