what kind of tank are you doing? Any corals? If so you're going to want more lighting.

Are you keeping the Juwel internal filter? If so I would fill the media baskets with crushed LR or alfagrog, Rowaphos and carbon or a carbon sponge, DONT use all the sponges they come with as standard.

Apart from that sounds like you're on your way!

I think i might remove the filter and tbh im still not actually sure wether to get that one or the Aquastyle 980 because
IT looks better having curved edges
3 lights in the hood rather than 2
built in filter at the back so i can put different media init
only thing is its 215 litres rather than 240 and is slightly more expensive.

I'd bin the hydrometer and get a refractometer - in fact I did do!

Majority of hydrometers are very inconsistant whereas you can get a refractometer for £15-20 from thiefbay - much easier to use and more reliable in my experience.
