New to the hobby...help please?

[dysmom]

I have my tank 75g and good lighting, I just cant decide on filtration.. Anyone have any suggestions or tips? Sump vs hang on..protein skimmer or not. any help is greatly appreciated. I've read articles, but I think personal experience is always best!

I would build a custom sump out of a tank, I have 2 75g's connected to a 30 breeder. for one 75g I would still do a 30b and put a fuge in there, and add whatever else you need for the tank, what kinda set up is it gonna be? reef,FO?

If you are not a custom type (like me)...you can buy a sump and overflow that has a skimmer in it
I'm guessing this tank is not drilled?

that works too, but IF you are a custom type DIY kinda person (like me)... you can buy a tank and get some acrylic/glass for baffles and make it to your needs.
