Re-starting my cube!!

I had this 29g cube( don't remember if its a JBJ or Oceanic) set up for a few years, then after I sold my 150g had it set up for the mushrooms and such I kept out of that tank and had to take it down after that as I was going to school 12+ hours a day...
Now we are moving cross country and I want to set it up and keep some corals (LPS, maybe some SPS) until we find a permanent home and I buy a larger tank.
Now, I am wanting to get a MH (I'll probably order the inexpensive Odyssea) and keep only 1 or 2 small fish. I REALLY like the little possum wrasses!
My biggest question is I have never had a skimmer for it, and will def. want one..any not so expensive suggestions?
Here are some old pictures of it...

I'm going to take the hood off and possible screen the top (depends on the fish)

Okay so, so far im thinking possum wrasse & a goby or blennie? maybe a watchmand goby, I loved my last one so much!
as far as LPS I would want acans, candycanes, button coral, maybe some favites??
and now im thinking about a clam :)
Figuring if I have a 150 watt MH fixture I should be pretty good...

Hello...... I love the possum wrasse idea as far as the coral choices. The clam however, I think it may be a tad soon for that. Maybe in 6 months to a year.
I too had a similar set up you are wanting and I really enjoyed my lil hippy colony.

Yeah I figured id probably have to wait for the clam..im also thinking about some mini/maxi carpets too....love them though I may settle for some ric's if I get any perching fish like a citron clown goby??
im just getting so psyched!!

my personal choice would be the aquatic life 115.
