halides are prety much a must for a reef tank.. provide the best light possible!
as far as filtering, get an overflow box goin down to a refugium... thats the best u can do for a reef tank.. other filters will collect nitrates and cause a problem eventually, while the fuge will literally eat up the nitrates using a macro-algae such as chaetomorpha which will also remove co2 and produce oxygen
