Holy garbanzo beans that's a lot of questions.

I'll take three:

I would skip the ato to start. You should be looking at and working on your tank daily at the beginning. You can add water (RODI!) by hand

Jaeger's are great heaters. Get them.

Why do you want a UV? UV and ozone are complex tools for specific problems. Wait till you have those problems.

Coral Box ATO, but add an extra IR sensor.
Jebao DP-4
Fluval 300 watt digital E-Series, + ink bird heat controller.
Aquatic Life 4 stage,,sediment, carbon, RO + DI
2x Visparspectra 165w
Red Sea Pro

Those are what I have so happy will performance.....

In my nano I got dynos and only UV helped to control them.

Only 1 heater is good? 300W is OK for 110G of water?

Your post says 87g, I use 200W in my 65.
You can have two if you like, one to back up the other.

The Fluval E-Series is the best heater I have used in more than 25 years.
It us digital, smart, easy to set, accurate, colored on board display, variance of .5 degree, and can be easily changed from F to C.

Will turn itself off if temp runs too high, or is removed from water.

Completely submersible, inside a cage..

Green is on point, blue is too cold, red is to hot, LF displays if flow to low
