Have had the exact same size tank up and running for 12+ years and been in the hobby for several decades. As far as lighting goes there are several good choices. After having used most of the aforementioned options I settled on 2 Orphek v4's. I am able to grow anything, anywhere in the tank. Suggest the BRS video on them. As far as Skimmers go, I have had Bubble King, Vertex, Reef Octopus and a few others. Without question I have found Lifereef to be the simplest and most efficient.
All that being said, IMO the most important factors are patience and consistency. Good luck.
