Depends on what corals you are wanting to keep... but for sure.... Power heads, some kind of filtration, live rock, heater, supplements.

you should try to put at least 1 fish in there, depending on the size of the tank, foxfaces or a yellow tang are good.

I'd actually go for a tang from the bristletooth family. They crap a lot, and they definitely pull their weight in terms of cleaning. You could do anything from a kole to a chevron, or even a leutenant tang. Most of the rabbitfish, as recommended, are great too.

If you are set on going fish only there is a product, its a Mark Weiss item, called SPS grow or something, it comes in an oval dark blue container with green writing and a white twist off lid. The product is actually dried out fish crap.

**edit**

the product is called SPS Coral Grow.
