Merry Christmas lol...
I'm wondering the same thing, I don't know what lighting etc.. I want to get, but when I decide I'll let you know.
BTW, If you want quick answers tell everyone what you want to keep in your tank, live rock, fish, corals, etc...

as of right now i have a cinn clown, damsel, condy anemone, and 2 turbo snails as far as the 55.... I havent a clue i want to switch them over to the bigger tank but keep the damsel in the 10 (he is a pest). But i dont want to get rid of him cause he is the prize that i get for keeping a good first tank (still alive ) LOL. Int the 55 i want Corals (easy ones) with live rock and a few more hardy community fish.

Be a good girl now. :hi:
I would recommend the cpr bak pak skimmer for a 55.
As far as fish,you're on you're own.;)

I have a back pak 2r and it has a serious microbubble probelm. You can tune it so it doesn't do this but it sacrifices performance. The final microbubble solution is a sponge on the output or to buy the cpr bubble trap. Over all it is good. Kinda load in the white noise department.
As far as lights go, the sky is the limit. Be aware though that the high end lighting system may be expensive, but maybe down the road you need that system to keep sps or clams if you desire. Upgrades cost more money than paying for one quality unit.
