What do you want to keep? FOWLR, Softies, LPS, SPS, Mixed Reef?
Think about what you have already that can be transferred or reused in your new tank: Refractometer, Test Kits, smaller return pumps for reactors, cleaning supplies, foods, etc. As for lighting, what are you interested in? T5, LED, MH, or a combination? You probably want a skimmer that is rated for about double (2x) the tank volume...you dont want a skimmer to big because it will run inefficiently (like rated 3x-4x water volume).
