Welcome to the forums !
#1 - Ditch the filter. If you're having Live rock, the rock is your bio-filter.
#2 - Don't get Seaclone skimmer. They are garbage. Go for Coralife Super Skimmer or other good brands.
It's a good idea to get 2 powerheads and place one on each end of your tank for better water flow.
Invest in good lighting set-up such as Orbit PowerCompact, Metal Halides, VHOs, T-5s ... depending on what kind of corals you are planning to get. Some corals need very bright lighting. Choose your corals wisely and choose ones that are relatively easy to care for. Research and read up on corals and their care/requirements.
And the most important thing in Marine aquarium set-up is go slow. Patience is the key to a successful SW set-up. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. And remember - there is no such thing as dumb questions. Good luck !
