I'd not waste my money on L/R in any type tank especially a fish only system.. The URI is the best brand on the market and the combo of 2 white and 2 03 actinic is the best I ran them for more years then I can recall. Now when you set the tank up I'd just use base rock and seed the tank with a good source of a few ponds of L/sand to establish the fauna and coral-lines

Then just run the super actinic 03 for the time you are cycling the system no skimmer no nothing except a single little yellow tailed blue damsel to start and keep cycling bio load level and steady. And give it about 10 weeks before adding the first better fish. Just leave the little damsel in there you'll seldom see it .

As for the heat go here and get a fan 120 V and as high a cfm rating that you want I like the ball bearing fans better then the sleeve fans

If you need good large coraline covered L/R I have a ton or more of it and sand and rubble But I'd not use good L/R as I said for this fish tank.
