Its all going to depend on your target corals. Skimmers and pumps as well as lighting all vary greatly with what you intend to keep as well as bio-loads and the like.
If you post if you are aiming at mostly SPS, LPS, Softies or a mixed reef it would help. Also check out the large reef forum as it will have some info and topics posted already. I`ve been reading over them the last couple months since I was planning a 180 and went with a 210 so I`m looking at upgrading some equipment also. There are a bunch of great people as well as some really knowledgeable people here that will be able to help you out the whole way. BTW: WELCOME to reefcentral
