also didint feel liek startin another thread
skimmer ?
i was gonna use an emperor 400 and a skimmer
but i dont realy understand how one wud work without a sump
so im thinkin instead of the 400 just spend that money on a 20glong and make a refugium with a area for the skimmer
which one is more cost effective and better for the tank

Your 20g idea is better. Just put plenty of live rock into your tank (60-80lbs), and invest in a good skimmer (Beckett, Downdraft, induction, or Recirculating preferably) and you'll have a nice filtration setup.
You sound like a beginner to the hobby, I wouldn't recomend a calcium reactor. They are very expensive, complicated, and are of no use to anyone running a 55g unless you are keeping a very high-calcium-demand system (which you'd only have if you are keeping corals that beginners shouldn't keep).
Good skimmer brands to consider are AquaC, My Reef Creations, Euro Reef, etc. Lots of people use Coralife skimmers, but I myself do not care for them.
