Budgeting about $300 to $500 on LED light.. though cheaper the better
As for other equipment i have no idea what so ever.
All i know is that i want everything to sit in the sump,, EG Skimmer and heater pumps etc..
I was going to just do two holes at the top.. so if the pump was to stop or
something happen the water can only go as far as the hole at top thats it..
Mechanical fail safe ? is that right

He is good, the stuff is genuine but it is most of the time a the stuff is a grey import. Also marine sources skimmers are good value for money.
With your overflow if you have a wier you get surface skimming. In a marine tank most of your dissolved organic compounds or doc's are in the top part of your water column, so a wier will help in sending majority of the water to your sump being high in doc's so your skimmer and other equipment are more effective.

I'm still little confused on what the weir offers extra
A what I can see it maybe help skimmer work better
But as for protection , the tank Can't drain further than pipe inlet anyway yeah?
