Seting up 65 gallon tank and looking for suggestions

I'm going to build a 65 gallon SPs tank. I will have a 20 gallon tank that us baffled. About 3/4 is dedicated as a fuge. The fuge will have a dsb and addn live rock.

I was thinking of growing macro algae instead of a skimmer. But would still consider skimming if its recommended.

I want to keep this setup as simple as possible and was intending on having one pump t-ed off to drive the skimmer, returns and phosban reactor. I would be dozing 2 part for calcium.

So. What skimmer? How much flow through the fuge? How much flow for the Returns for the tank? I will probably use the return of the skimmer to drive the fuge.

I think thata it for questions. Suggestions, foresights etc are greatly appreciated.
