Hey guys this a repost. I got some good feedback on it though.
ok,

...so i think i bit off a bit more than I can chew....

I bought an 24 gallon aquapod last night.
I pretty much have everything I need mechanically,

Addendum...
I was sold a lemon...the tank lights blew out cause of some bad mods.
i just got a new tank today. So im back at it trying to figure things out.
Also its a 24 Gallon AquaPod - Model # 7051. If any of you guys got helpful hints please let me know. I also want to know what kind of Skimmer I can use.

Since, its a new tank, you could hold off on the skimmer for now to see if you will even need one. I read you would need one for sure with anemones. You could try retrofitting the blown out structures with retrofit kits. You should be fine filtering 180 gph or with a substantial sump. Sorry for your loss dude.

Get the tank set-up first. You can do W/O a skimmer (still nice to have though) if you do large weekly water changes.

totally like killed my post with editing...
yeha it sucks. i have a new tank now....but now i need a clean up crew =(

[tanker]

Is your tank cycled?? Why do you "NEED" as clean-up crew??

agreed a clean up crew is not necassary
Get some live rock and let your tank filter, if you have an old HOB filter you can run it or get a powerhead to move the water around

i think the tank might be cycled now. how long does it take for a tank to cycle?
everything came form an established tank. i still have some algae but the cuc helped out alot.
