I am going to take my first foray into a reef tank. I have done sal****er
over the last 10 years with just a simple undergravel filter and power
filter.

I acquired a 55 gallon system and my plan is to purchase 60 lbs of live
rock, not sure whether to use crushed coral or sand yet...and I am looking
at the Tom Aquatics PS3 protein skimmer/canister filter all in one.

Any suggestions? Words of wisdom? Anyone have an opinion on the PS3
skimmer/canister system

The CPR units are great, you can use anything similar on a 55 fairly
easy.
Good light is essential, lots of current etc.

I like DBS's and Refugiums over skimmers, but you can try both,
generally you will not get any skimmate if the refugium is running
correctly.

Tom, why are you crossposting reef subject between freshwater forums??
