Thermometer 2-1/4" x 1-1/2" 2- Koralia Water Circulation Pumps Pump 2 Anything else i should get? Still looking at skimmers. Already have lights. Thanks! -Nick

will you be using a sump? if not i would strongly recommend using one. they are worth it. if you do use a sump get this skimmer itll work great on your tank. the rs 80

Yes i will be using a sump as long as i can fix the noise problems I've got with my 20g sump...
That is a nice skimmer but two things. 1.Out of my price range and 2. it'd be to tall I've only got 18.5" clearance...

Oh i'm sorry I'll be using my quiet one 3000 as the return and my hob overflow. As for live rock a local reefer sells live rock for $1.75lb so I'll be getting around 45lbs plus about 25lbs from my 20g. I've used a 5 dollar coupon before but I'll see about using another one.
 Thanks EDIT: I forgot about the RO/DI unit. I will be getting one from the filter guys or filter direct probably
