I'm setting up me new tank, and this is my first attempt at marine. I've
acquired the tank and stand\hood, and begun building the wet/dry, but I'd
like some recommendations on a couple things. Keep in mind, I'd like to keep
the cost down wherever possible.

Return pump. Recommendations on pump, (brands etc) I'd like to stay away
from the really big MD pumps.

Overflow. I like the continuous siphon overflows, the ones without tubes,
but they're pricey, I'll prolly stick with the 'classic' design.

Skimmer. Skimmers are baffling me, but I know I want to place it in the
sump, rather than hang-on.

Any input\suggestions appreciated.

I would go with a mag drive 9.5 maybe. You could go smaller. Is your
tank drilled for an overflow? If not you will have to go with an
overflow box to get the water to the filter. The best skimmers, in my
opinion, are AquaC Urchins. Check out www.marinedepot.com for skimmers.
