Hey guys! Im going to buy a nanocube. I know i need a heater but what else should i get?

The plan:
I want a mixed reef with a pair of black clows and a six line wrasse(or any active pretty small fish). I would like a few shrimp.

As for corals im looking at shrooms, pollups and a buble anemone. I have no intention of doing sps.

I want a fairly relaxed maintence. 5-10% water changes weekly is what im aiming for and a healthy tank.

Things im considering:

A protein skimmer- which one? I want a quiet yet effective one since its going next to my bed.

A uv steralizer: wont have a hospital tank and anything to help keep water clean

A phosban reactor- to keep phosphates down so no stupid algea blooms

Background: this is my first tank in 10 years. I use to have a 55 gallon mixed
reef. I had to tear it down when i left for college. I want something smaller as i dont have the room or money to make a really nice large tank. Im not opposed to any suggestions. There is a lot of tech that im not familiar with so help would be great.

Thanks guys!!!
