a hang on skimmer, 2 large pumps for water flow (there's no such thing as to much in marine tanks) and I don't know about the filter, I would swap it for a large eheim or fluval external filter, and use nitrate and maybe carbon for filter media

I would look at this tank if I were you its a better all round tank Orca TL450all you need is to add some Live Rock and powerheads for water movement (aim for about x20 tank turnover) salt and way to go very nice tanks with very good review from the marine world reefkeepers
