Need help outfitting a tank

[phillybean]

Congrats on the find.

I would go with an Octopus NW 200 or Recirc 200 for the Protein Skimmer. It's nice, will do the job and fairly cheap.

For the return pump in the sump, I would go for a Mag 9 or Eheim 1262.

Then you need to deal with cirulation. I am a big fan of closed loops, but a few Koralia 4 Water Pump (1200 GPH each) would give you 30 times turn over would be fairly cheap.
