Is your tank new? If so then this is all part of the nitrogen cycle. There are some good videos on youtube explaining this (cycling your tank). But this is to be expected. Have you tested for Ammonia and/or Nirite this will help you guage where you stand in the cycle. Basically you have to wait for the correct bacteria to take hold. You can do a few things to help this along such as reduce the level of salt in the water (assuming you dont have anything living in the tank just yet). This gives the bacteria more energy to grow and multiply. Once they have the nitrates will reduce and you can slowly increase the salinity back to normal. You can also add beneficial bacteria. Highly suggest DRTims one and only. If your tank is older, and you properly cycled the tank, then you need to think about how you set up your nutrient export methods. Skimmer? Refugium? ATS? Also figure out where this is coming from (excess bio load?). . (note There are loads of test kits each slightly different, so purple doesnt mean much. Its good you are testing, great job this is a key element to successful reefing, but some numbers wouldn't go amiss that way we can help you more) Hope this helps.

Welcome to the world of saltwater reefs, hope it goes well. Do check out BRSTV on youtube as they have a new 5min tutorial series aimed at the new reefer, as well as Dr Tim Hovenac MACNA presentation on cycling a tank (also on youtube). Personally I would go with as big as tank as I could and with a sump (use this forum to find a good deal on second hand equipment) bigger tanks are more stable but can also fit in utility fish like yellow tang.. but I assume you have already considered all that, so back to your question... If I was to choose, I would go with the nuvo 10. I had one of these ages ago. It has more standard options for installing equipment (skimmer, media basket). Feel it would also have better resale value. As to what else you need... refractometer (Check on lazada or if possible the new hanna pen is a good option), some form of temperature control (inkbird?), some form of auto top off as evaporation can cause instability not to mention lack of water haha. And finally a good light (ai prime, kessil or my favorite the xr15 pro, all would be good options as in future if you upgrade they can still be used with hybrid options like the aquatic life, or as part of a multi puck set up on a bigger tank). note the light, temp control and ato can be added later after tank cycled. Good luck. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I would agree with Mr Soggy. Check out the new wider wavemakers like the nero5 or the cheaper but still good SLW20 from Jebao. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Sounds like the light is giving good growth. I think people forget that the whole idea is to grow more and more, exporting the nitrates when you remove it. So a good light is a must. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Looking good. Thanks for documenting! The T5 / LED hybrid I feel will be a good strategy. Looking at you mount. Is that a commercially available mount, like the aquatic life hybrid? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

IMHO I would say Zero to One. But it really depends on which species and the individual fish (as some can be as small as three inches). Most triggerfish need a lot of space as they tend to be extremely territorial (especially in smaller tanks). They are fairly active and need loads of food (water quality issue in small tank??). Form what I have read 180gallons is the minimum tank size recommended. Although I have read of loads of people successfully keeping them in 100gallons (422). And even the article attached says you can keep them in as little as an 80gallon tank. Although in a tank that size you will probably run into some comparability issues over time. Have a read here... https://www.thespruce.com/triggerfish-family-balistidae-profile-2925851 And also this article... https://www.advancedaquarist.com/2007/7/fish Hope that helps. Good luck.
