new tank equipment question

[matt2364]

I am looking at getting a 75 gallon tank from a friend, the equipment included is as follows:
1. 75 gal. Oceanic salt water aquarium
2. 2 Iwaki pumps (one for sump, one for skimmer)
3. LifeReef 48 inch skimmer (VS3-48)
(http://www.lifereef.com/venturi.html)
4. LifeReef wet/dry sump with 3 canisters & manifold (not sure what model)
http://www.lifereef.com/trickle.html
5. Metal Halide (two 175watt (6500K)) lighting fixture with two 48inch fluorescents..
6. Magnum 350 filter
7. Wooden cabinet
8. Temperature controller & 2 heaters
9. 2 in tank small circulation pumps
Wondering if anyone can offer an caveats about any of this equipment. I am new to the hobby and am not sure if there is anything wrong with this set up. He said everything is working correctly. Price is very reasonable, 400 for everything! Let me know what everyone thinks.

400 for everything sounds good to me. Go for it! Dude that skimmer is huge!!

Does anyone know anything about the quality of the lifereef equipment?
Can anyone tell from the picture what kind of light is on top of the tank?
Some more input would be very helpful. I would probably want to sell the skimmer, and get something is smaller and would fit under the tank. Do you think it would be pretty easy to sell? I am not sure if there is a market for 500+ gallon skimmers...thanks for all the input!
