Personally I'd use close to 1-1 1/2 lbs good cured lr per gal.......and enough ls combined with carib sea aragonite(oolite) to build approximately 4-6 inches of sand bed......I'd use natures ocean live sand..........filtering for me is a skimmer that can handle the load in your system and maybe a cannister or hang on type mechanical filter for occassional carbon type elements........(most of the time the millinium 3000 I have on my 55 reef is simply for circulation..........research methods and reach your own conclusions..............everybody takes a slightly different path to the same goal........a thriving eco-system that is beautiful when happy and healthy :cool:

Ok now here is what i was thinking for fish wise,
Snowflake eel
spiny puffer
and lion.
Would this setup work? To many fish not enough?Maybe clean up crew?
Any suggestions are welcome... Thanks for all the help
