i hear u r good in marine tank
first of all, me not really that good in marine tank.. i am also learning at the same time.. let just share information
iam setting up 5x2x2 marine tank so what is
the basic thing that i have 2 buy ..... of cost is in my budget
u might want to consider reading up a few of the threads that i have posted previous on the basic items to get... likewise.. what is your budget.. for 5x2x2, i would recommend that u go for sump.. u wun regret it lor..

marine FAQ

from there, any queries that u might have, u can ask again.. it is very difficult for me to tell u what u should or should not have coz different ppl have different needs.

can i use extenal filter or over head filter
dun bother.. for 5x2x2, go for sump
for the moment i dont need coral only fish
if your future plans gonna have corals.. i suggest that u should consider what corals u want to keep first. that will have implication on the lightings that u should get now rather than having to upgrade it later to accommodate the corals. likewise, with corals, usually u get MH and with that, chiller is a must as MH will heat up the water very fast.
