I am getting a new(to me)56g tank tomorrow....dimensions are 30x18x24

Help me decide what equipment to put on the tank.

I will be running a 400w MH...because I got it dirt cheap local. will run either 20k radiums or xm 1ok with VHO actinics.

will a 20l be sufficent for a sump/fuge combo?...I have a stand that is for a 4ft 120 that I could rework a bit and use that for the stand which would allow for a bigger sump/fuge....ie 40 breeder.

what other equipment would you use....I would like to know ideas for everything.....ie skimmer,heater,return pump etc.

off to bed I will check back on this thread in the morning....I really hope I get alot of suggestions and comments.
 
I have a 55 so ill just list what im using. 20Long sump with 3 sections, fuge/skimmer/return. Mag 9.5 return with a bubble magus NAC7 skimmer. 1 Korilla 4 powerhead and a Maxijet 1200 powerhead. 4 bulb t5 fixture and a 24" reefbrite strip.
