After researching for about 6 months, I ended up with 90 gal bow with modification stand by Oceanic, 36 gal sump, 20 gal quarantine tank, 46 gal bow, 36 corner bow sump, 54 gal corner bow, and a half built stand for the 54 gal. I plan on returning the 46 bow, 36 corner bow and possibly selling the 90.
To make the long story short, I built a stand according to the size of the 54 gal corner bow tank, but it wouldn't fit much else other than a 36 gal corner bow...but I think I will return it and use that money for better skimmer.
I have few plans for the stand that can fit 20 Gal, 29 gal, or any size I want. I am thinking 29 gal would work best.

*I would like some help setting this tank up. Realstically speaking, what would be a good size sump for the 54 gal?
Skimmer: I would also like some help on skimmer that is efficent, fairly quiet, trouble free and smaller footprint the better. How large?
Pump: How much water flow would I need? What size return pump? also fairly quiet.
Lighting: What would be a good lighting for this tank?
Power heads: Do I need it? If so, which woul dyou use?
I perfer qaulity and to do it right the first time.
My 54 corner reef tank:
live rock
live sand
refugium
corel
clean up crew
pair of clown
and few other fishes that are compatible.
In return, once I finish, I will post the steps I took and detail plans of my stand and sump. I am taking notes and pictures as I go along try and help others as to best of my knowledge.
Thank you for your time.
