Where to start on 55 gal?

How does this sound:

65 ClearVu Acrylic
1000 Magdrive
Berlin Turbo Xl Skimmer w/ turbo pump
Refugium 14 gal w/ lights 55w x 2
JBJ Lighting 64 w x 4
With Stand and hood

Would this be a good starter? Price range for this tank, it is used.
 
Not bad but I would still go with a 75-110 tank so you don't have to upgrade as quickly. Looks like a decent setup. What's the Price?
 
personally I think you could do better.. I would rather have a 40 breeder than a 55 or a 65.
May sound crazy but you can do a lot more aqua scaping and it is cheaper with the breeders. The cost of a 55 or 65 is comparable to a 75 or 90 and there is a 100 percent chance you will want to move away from that shallow design soon.
Another great tank is a 50 breeder though I see very few of these.
 
not bad for a price. i would still go with a 75-110 gallon tank. I found out that when you move fish to a new tank you stress everything, as a result I am about to loose a Mimic Tang.
