55 gal filter and skimmer recommend?

I'm gonna be starting a 55 gal soon, can anyone recommend some filters, or skimmers, or should i do a sump?

I have a magnum 350 pro system and a seaclone 150 on my 125 gallon reef. I have about 100 lbs of live rock and a 2 inch sand bed. You should tell us if you plan to do fish only or a reef. Bioload and a ton of other factors will decide how you go.

proabably about 2 fish in there, and it's going to be a reef.

Hey you try the CPR Bak2
it is a skimmer and a filter for about $120

Personally I would just use LR as your bio-filter. A sump IMO is a good idea. It will help in oxigen exchange, it gives you a place to dripping kalk, put your heater and skimmer, etc... Just my 2c.

Live Rock, sump, and a Euro-Reef ES 5-2 skimmer. A couple of Maxi-Jet 1200 powerheads for circulation. That would be it.
