I am looking for a nice 55 gallon saltwater tank set-up....with a wet/dry.
I already have a skimmer and don't need a stand, but I am willing to look at anything this is availabe.

55's are easy to come by. watch the local paper and postings at the LFS for a used one. if you want a new one you can get those just about anywhere, even wallmart (just not a reef ready one). youll find out real quick that the tank is the cheapest part of setting up a reef, so i say go for the new one.

as for wet dry's try online or in the selling forum im sure many will be willing to sell one. i myself prefer a refugium... bare bottom guys might recomend a plain sump and big'o skimmer.

if your looking for a setup thats already up and running you might try the local reef club. many clubs are represented here, and may chime in if you disclose your location.
