since you put in saltware area but did not specify, I'll assume you are thinking of fowlr or reef tank.

Live rock. lots and lots of liver rock. then, oh 4 or 5 powerheads. let cycle for 2-3 weeks.

A cannister AND a hang on the back filter would be the best set up IMO...that is what I have on my 125 gal. I have the Rena XP3 plus the HOB and the two of them together work very well...thats GREAT I know how exciting it is to get a nice big tank like that....YEAH!!!!! Good Luck and Happy fishkeeping!!! ohhhhhh oops I just realized this IS the the saltwater section sowwy lol see, I got too excited!!

IF you are doing LR, then a canister filter and hang on are not necessary, and I would even say bad. For FOWLR your lighting system would be fine...If you want a reef you will need metal halides...also get a protien skimmer, a good one maybe a turboflotor or aqua-c, and a few good sized powerheads, I recommend the Seios

sump/refugium with a skimmer is better, you wont be keeping any anenomes in that tank, or corals for that matter with that light...you would need to upgrade to Metal Halides...anenomes are extremely difficult and require pristine water quality.

I hope it works, however, you should be aware that very few protien skimmers are acurately rated, most likely it would be more apropriate on a tank half that size, and if you are doing mostly fish a good protien skimmer is your best investment next to lots of liverock.
