Hello everyone. My fiancee is dying to get a seahorse tank so I'm obliged to make it happen. For some background I've been a freshwater man for the past two years and all of my tanks are high tech so to speak (CO2, high PAR, fertilizers, etc.) so I understand the basics of maintaining a tank. I've been researching saltwater tanks for the past couple of months on and off and it seems every build has a new piece of equipment.
Her vision is to get a 45 gallon-ish cube which I think is plenty of space for 4 seahorses. My question is what type of equipment should I consider purchasing that would make my life easier with regards to upkeep and maintenance? I'm assuming:
Besides a sump, what other stuff am I missing? I see a ton of different reactors, but with so many I'm not sure if any certain one is valuable enough to get.
Thanks for the help.

- protein skimmer
- Auto top off
