Well my buddy was moving so i begged him to let me take his 55 gal (he also has a 90) and he finally he said that i could take it! So now i just need to take a shot down to the LFS for some LS, LR and a decent skimmer..

Congratulations!
I also have a 54g. If you want any specific suggestions on equipment, take a look at my equipment list: I'm pretty happy with it. Lights, however---you're going to need more, being a stretch [mine is a wedge bow]. My bulb of choice is the Ushio 10k...not what I have now. And I'd recommend a mag 9.5 or similar return pump, maybe up to a 12 if you can throttle it down a bit. The Iwaki is because my sump is downstairs and my tank isn't.
HTH.
Good luck!

Great find. Suggestion, trim out those doors, put knobs on em' and restain that bad boy. I have a similar looking tank that I picked up for cheap and put 100 bucks into it and now it looks like a show tank. Check out the transformation, it's real easy to do..............
