Don't keep messing with it.
I've kept a 135 with a 55 sump for the past 9 years. Cheap skimmer with Metal-Halide and HO T-12 tubes for light. I keep hard and soft coals, a few Tangs and clowns, and right now a Volitans Lion. Don't under stock your 'clean-up crew', crabs, snails, brittle stars, etc.. A while back, I tossed in 10 littleneck clams from the grocery store to help with filtration....
