    For lighting id use 2 175w metal halides with 2 t5s and actenics, for skimmer i use a corallife super skimmer a 75gal rated one in my 55 gal for filtration u have about 3 good options here they are

    U can use a refugium and bio balls set up witch is a natrual way of filtration a refugium in like your sump all u do is get a 6500k flourescent light bulb a day light then u poot that on top of your sump and poot live sand and live plants in it.

    Or u can use a fluval
