Thinking of setting up my first salt tank

[Ephraim]

Well i think it's time to make the jump from freshwater to a saltwater setup. I've kept several planted tanks in the past and I'd like to try something a little different. I want to give soft corals and inverts a try. I would like to limit the amount of equipment that I have to buy and I just want to know what kind of species i can support with my current lighting. I currently have 2 Coral Life fixtures, one is a 48" 2x65 Watt compact flourecent 50/50, the other is a 24" 65 Watt compact flourecent 50/50.

The tank I will be using is 72" long x 24" tall x 12" wide and has mirrors on the back and sides to reflect light back into the tank from the lights(works well with plants). For filtration i have a Fluval 404 and a 304. What kind of HOB skimmer would you reccomend, i was thinking of a Remora. I like the slim profile since i need to put the skimmer on the side of the tank. The tank needs to be bolted to the wall since it is so top heavey

Thanks for any input!
