Hi All, I am hoping to set up a Red Sea Reefer 200XL in the near future. I discovered that the set ups don't include the return pump and the skimmer are not included. Looking for advice on the equipment I can consider based on the following criteria for a budget conscious new reefer. Return Pump - Red Sea website suggested a 2000L per hour pump. I would like something that is quiet and performs well. Skimmer - would like to get one with a smaller footprint that won't take up too much space in the sump as I hope to have a refugium in the sump as well. Should be quiet. Not sure what else to look out for in a skimmer. Lighting - I would probably go with the Reef LEDs for this. I like the idea that the stand can be lifted up to access the tank. Any other lights that can do that and also can be programmed? Flow generation - looking for recommendations on DC wave makers that would be suitable for such this size set up so that I can vary the flow. Chiller - I might get one at a later time due to feedback that I need one for corals. I do intend to just keep softies since I hear they are more forgiving. I would like to get one with a small footprint. Any other inputs invited. Forgive the noobish questions.

Thanks Evolutionz, that BubbleMagus Skimmer looks like it was made for that little corner! But does it get in the way of your ATO reservoir? Edit : I noted that you took it out later. Any reviews on it?
