First saltwater tank

[Shoelace520]

Ok so I want to start my first saltwater tank and I was thinking a 27 gallon nano reef, 20 lbs of live sand with maybe 25 to 30 lbs of live rock. Other than that i'm not not sure. I know I need a heater and thermometer that's a given, i'm not sure how many powerheads I need or if I will need a filter or protein skimmer. Any advice would be helpful all the articles I find are on smaller nano reefs but I would like a slightly larger one so I can keep a few more fish.
