Ok first in a salt tank the live rock and live sand is the filtration. I would use a HOB skimmer on the 55 and 29. Then you caould add some powerheads for flow and you are pretty much done. Do not use any "filter floss, foam etc" It will just build up Nitrates.
yea i knew the live rock kept the tank going but i dont need anything else there is a pump in both tanks and thats it i have a hob filter i used for my freshwater is that what you mean or do you mean an actual skimmer? so i dont need to add an actual filter to the tank? once i get my sg to 1.025 i can add fish?
anyone im about to go to the petstore to pick some stuff up....
should i set up a hob filter with bio wheel or is it pointless...going mainly for a hydrometer and some food but is there anything else i NEED before i can add fish in a few weeks

Here is a link to a good protein skimmer for the money.

If you are going to do fish only you can have your spg at 1.018 but if u put inverts in it then 1.023. No bio anything just live rock and live sand. Powerheads for flow and a protein skimmer to remove the waste. You can use a HOB filter for carbon just change it once every month and clean the carbon bag.
