I have a 16G nano with a mix of SPS and zoas. I have a 6G sump as well.
My light fixture is a mix of MH and T5HO but all T5HO's should be just fine.
You should still cycle the tank simply because patience is the key to putting together a successful nano. Go slow, start simple and then expand.
As for Nano skimmers, I use the BMQQ from Bubble Magus and it's been very good. Others have had great things to say about the new Euroreef nano skimmers and about the Tunze 9002.
