Do I need more filtration

You can see my stats for my tank below. Question is, do I need more filtration like a wet dry or something. Looking at most of the posts, it seems like LR and a skimmer might not be enough. I'm looking at a Fluval 303 for my 75 gallon. Will that be enough? How many gph would I need?

i am fairly new here but u got a 75 with 80lbs lr thats a good start your post just says skimmer what kind is it i guess u are gona do a reef cause u have 80 lr the live rock and skimmer are your filter also live sand bed i also have a sump for beter gas exchange the main thing to look at too is u want to move around 10 times your water volume around tank so if u do do a sump your pump wants to be 750 gal per hour or about my oppinon is u are fine if u have a good skimmer and alot of rock and water movement sump would be a plus better wait for more post tho see what other guys say

Do you have a dsb?? If you do and you are not planning on a lot of big/messy fish, I think that would be fine. the guys around here are most likely going to tell you to get a sump and put your skimmer in it, if its not an in-sump model they'll say you should upgrade as they are the best types. Either way I'd lose the fluval they really have no place in a reef.

I would add more sand, 75 lbl is not a very good deep. Although you have 75 lbl of live sand. I would like to add a good skimmer some time in the near future (Remora Pro HangOn from AquaC is good for your size)
