Thanks for the reply, I can honestly say I didnt think about putting the heaters in the sump but makes sense

Fully submersible heaters best bang for your buck

As to skimmers everybody and I do mean everybody has their own preference on style and brand of skimmer and there are tons to choose from on the market it comes down to what you like and what you can afford

As to going oversize on the skimmer what we mean is if it says rated for 75-120 gallon go to a skimmer that is rated 120-150 gallon or higher that way you won't run into a problem of under skimming which can be a problem in itself

For the basic tank set up with sump this is all you need

Tank & stand
Lights
Power head
Return pump
Skimmer
Sump
Thermometers
Pvc or flexitube piping and related valves, connectors

That is it its a small list but it's the basics of a tank with sump
