well it depends on what you want in the tank. Corals need light. Are you going to have a sump? If so I would use a mag 7 of mag 9.5 for your return. Get a couple power heads korilla are good and not to over priced. A good skimmer octo make a good hang on back skimmer. If you go in sump I would go msx there are decent priced and a good skimmer.

i would agree with him...but if u didnt want to use a wet dry or didnt have an overflow already made it would suck simply because those hang on the back overflows that arent made straight in the tank dont suck the water fast enough in my opinion but thats just my 2 cents...so if u wanted something else id go with a rena xp3 for a filter n like he said some korilia powerheads for movement as for a good skimmer id say a remora would be perfect n dont forget the heater if u need one mine stays at right about 78 degrees without one
