I have a 46gallon bow front and need some input from you guys that know the best what to get. I a looking at a tunze skimmer and ....

1) Berlin Sump BS-1, 23 inch x 12 inch x 14 inch
2) Korallin Calcium Reactor 1502
3) Tunze DOC Protein Skimmer 9005
4) Little Giant - 2-MDQ-SC Inline Pump
5) CPR CS50 Overflow Box

Do I need anything else? Would you recommend something else? I am open ears here.

I'd get the 9010 Skimmer...it includes the kit to run the skimmer in the sump (it's extra on the 9005) and has a bigger collection cup.

Why not make your own sump from an aquarium? Save a ton of money.
