Hi - I used to have tropical many years ago and, as I'm considering re-entering the world of fish, am now considering marine options

Having looked at the space available and tanks that might fit, I'm heading towards the Aqua Pro 900 which, I've already seen, there's a lot of people on here have already

You'll appreciate that, for a newbie, there's almost TOO much information 'out there' so I was hoping that there might be some 'new friends' on here that could help me out with some basic info:

1 - One of my reasons for the AP900 was that it was almost plug'n'play(!). However, I've seen a lot about people on here ditching the sump - and, as I do want it 'quiet', what - in addition to the obvious tank, stand, decor & fish - will I need in the way of skimmers/pumps/filters etc etc? Models - pros/cons/price & space needed please!

2 - What has worked best for people and, roughly, how much extra would I be looking to spend?

3 - Any other useful tips and 'I wish I'd known earlier' experiences?

As I'm completely new to the marine-world, I'd appreciate any replies in easy to use language and apologies in advance if I ask 'silly' questions!

Thank you
