Welcome to R2R!!
A protein Skimmer made for a AIO system and a 'in tank' water pump for flow, such as a Vortech MP 10 or something equivalent.
You could run some GFO and/or carbon in a bag.
Good luck with your new adventure!
Keep us posted, we love pictures!

That's a sharp looking Tank!! So many options and theories on how to run a tank, take your time, start by just cycling the rock and reading up on reef2reef. When I ran a 14g nano, I ran nothing, no skimmer, no media and my little tank did very well.

An 80 gallon tank is a nano, should have pitched that idea to my wife when she said I could buy a nano tank .
