I have put together a 55 gallon in wall saltwater aquarium. My equipment is as fallows.
15 gall 3 chamber sump
Coral life 220 (idk if you can skim to much but I assumed the latter)
2x vho t12
3 600 maxi jets
Blue line 420 external return
65 pnd live rock
5 gallon bucket ls (collected boiled and baked)

I am also curious to stocking I personally love leathers and other softies as well as coral buetys.
 
VHOs are good lighting. Harder to come by now but I ran those bulbs for a while 10 years ago and the color was always awesome.
 
You are probably going to need more VHO to keep corals in your 55. I had I believe 6 over my 29 about 10 years ago then went to Mh. My friend has the corallife skimmer and likes it, but always tells me he wishes he bought a reef octopus or such skimmer. But hey it works well for him, he says it has little quirks to it tho.
