I am in the process of purchasing a 72 gallon reef ready bow front. For starters how is this price of $275 for the following used equipment?

Coralife Deluxe Series Aqualight Fixture – Double Linear Strip –
Aqua Medic TurboFlotor 1000 Multi Protein Skimmer
Red Sea WaveMaster Pro with 3 Maxi-Jet MP900 Power Heads
Hagen Water Test Kit.

What additional equipment do I need to have a complete setup? My LFS rec'd a $250 dollar oceanic bio ball sump. Options?

Thanks

I would recomend against using bio balls.

The price you listed may be a tad high for used equipment but it depends on the condition of the equipment.

What do you plan on keeping in this tank? You may want to look at getting more light.

Thanks! I'm not sure how to answer your question intelligently. I plan on adding approx 100 lbs of fiji live rock and would like to fill it up with some cool stuff :wacko on the rock and a few fish. Please educate me. What would you suggest instead of the bioballs and what else do I need?
