Ok...its going to be a 55 gallon with 4-5 inch dsb and live rock..although i'm not surehow much yet..i guess i'll just have to wait and see...this is what the hardware will be:
2x Maxi-jet 900's
1x PRO-HEAT TITANIUM LCD Heaters... 150W
1x Emperor Power filter 400 W/BIO-Wheels..... 400 gph
All needed test kits from SALIFERT Saltwater Test Kits
ok..i think thats everything...its pretty basic lighting since i won't have corals for a while...tell me what you think...i'm still undecided on fish...i know i want a royal gramma and i think i want a pair of percula clowns...thanks!

Depending on how much LR you get will make the decision of whether or not to get more filtration. IMO, I would get a good skimmer, and you should be set.

you might want to get a higher wattage heater or 2x 150 watt heaters. A skimmer would be good too, like a prizm or a bak-pac. If you are interested in buying a prizm let me know, I have a brand new one I am selling for $65. The back-pac is a better skimmer from what I heard, but if you are trying to save money the prizm would be fine for a 55 gal and a lot better than nothing.
