    Hi.

    Because I'm new here I'd like to say Hello to everyone.

    Right now I have empty 56 gallon tank.
    Now I'm looking to buy some equipment (I have only RO).

    What do you think about Precision Marine RL125 Skimmer? - I don't have SUMP - is this one gonna works? If not so I'll buy CPR Aquatics Bak-Pak Dual Pak Protein Skimmer.
    2x Tunze 6045 should be enough for my tank?
    Heater 2x100W

    Thanks

    Welcome to 3reef.

    The equipment list should work well.

    Welcome to 3 reef rpionka

    heaters - depends where you live and ambient temp of location
    but typically 5 - 7 watts is suggested
    so with a 55 , 2 x 150 watt heaters may be a better option

    Welcome to 3Reef!

    That equipment list sounds good to me.

    Especially the skimmer & pumps
