Intoduction and skimmer vs. sump or neither

[Dorkel Marine 1]

Hello this is a newbie and my handle is Dorkel Marine 1. This site was recommended by pooduck on reefaquarium.com. He mentioned shadetree,dj88 and a few others. I was screaming for some local canuck reefers to talk with and hopefully to borrow some live stuff for my future live sand bed and maybe some frags. Budget rules rightnow. I presently have a 10gal. reef. I know that sounds a little funny but thats what it is. I'm presently planning a 30 gal. tank. I've decided on a 3-4 inch LSB about 40 lbs of live rock. My undecision comes with should I use a protein skimmer or a sump or neither and do frequent water changes and using a dosing regiem. I'll be having about 90 watts of lite between 1 pc at 55watts and two canopies with one atinic and 1 more fluoresent at about 20 watts complete with a glass canopy. Not sure about the glass canopy yet. Some people are saying don't use one. Others are saying be safe and use one. Ahhhh. Any info appreciated. Any frags would be greatly appreciated. Just one. Sorry for begging; the info is more important. I live in Coquitlam. thanx in advance. George Muller.
