Cycling a new saltwater tank

What kind of protein skimmer would you reccomend that I get?
In that size of tank, I would forget about a skimer and just do 25% weekly water changes to remove nutrients, instead of a skimmer.

what kind of inverts could I get?

Most soft corals, a cleaner shrimp, 5 blue leg hermit crabs (with lots if extra shells) and 10 astrea sp. snails would be a good mix, although there are many, many other inverts you could get. If you would like something different than that, look through the sites in my member page to pick some out, and then post what your getting here to make sure there won't be any problems.
 
What about the sexy shrimp? Those look pretty cool and live aquaria says care is easy The bumble bee shrimp are neat as well, although care level is moderate. I do like the regular ol cleaner shrimp too. I like the spider decorator carb although i think it might be too aggressive. Also, which kind of hermit crab wwould be the best, because they are all neat. Thanks again for all the help.
