Answer
As far as lighting, I would recommend a min 60 watts, I have always used a min of 4w per gal. and no more than 8w per gal. As for you sump, let me know the dimensions and e-mail me at ship_planner2000@yahoo.com, and I will show you some different diagrams. As for a protein skimmer, if you build yourself, well I have found by the time you get everything built and tweaked to get it working right, it is better to purchase one.
