please help - need to submit a big order within in the next few hours

Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyones help in the "please help me select a the right tank" thread, I now have a 65 gallon tank, and it's just the right size for my living room.

I am going to be starting a reef tank with live corals and anemones as well as a few fish (clowns, blennies, etc...). Now I know I can get everything I need in stages, however, I worked out some credit at the fish store and am able to save a ton of money if I get everything now. I won't however be able to go down to the fish store myself and ask them in person what I need and will need to ask my cousin to place the order for me. I'm hoping the more experienced hobbiests could help me put together a shopping list including the brand and model number of the items I need.

My cousin will only have today to pick the stuff up and I would of course need to let him know what all I need as soon as possible... hopefully someone here can help me out within the next couple hours.

I already have the salt, two power heads a heater and a hydrometer...

So... what all do I still need?

Lights
For corals and anemones I hear I need a very good light.

Live rock
How much and what kind?

Sand
I would like fine white sand (not the stuff that looks like crushed coral), just don't know what brand or the name.

Filter
I guess I don't need a big filter with all the LR I'll have but I guess I need one to get started, correct? Which one do I need?

Protein Skimmer
which one?

Water Conditioner
which one?

Test Kit
which one?

Cleaning Supplies
What do I need?

Please also let me know what I'm missing (other than a clean up crew, corals and fish, which I'll of course have get at a later time)

Thank you all so much in advance!
