Hi bro, u need a sump tank to house the skimmer and a return pump to drive the water through the chillier and back to the tank .IMO, using canister will choke up with debris in a short time and caused leakage.

My tank setting:
Size : 48" x 24" x 24"
Return pump: 1 x Vectra S2, 1 x Eheim 1264
Skimmer: Skimz DC skimmer SV203

Chiller : 1hp drop coil compressor
Wave maker : 2 x Nero 5 , 1 x Tunze 6055

Top up : Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155

Okay sure. Will go for a sump. How about the additives? Those treatments? Any recommendation?

Additives - Get a liquid bacteria ( i am using Brightswell Bactor7) to dose to speed up cycling and its also helps to break down nitrate and phosphate when u have livestock . Another must get treatment is CoralRX . For dipping and To kill parasite before introducing into your display tank.

Actually it depends on what you are keeping, if you are keeping basic coral a good salt mix will do the trick already.
