Sorry for late reply, I'm rarely here. If you still here, can you use more easily readable text for all of us, who are not accustomed with shorthand type you are using?

Now some answers.
Depending on chosen configuration, for example, tank 100 gal (380 liters) will require pumps (or, if it's sumpless, powerheads and/or power filters, rated for this size of the tank, even more) to ensure sufficient water flow. Water flow, depending on type of inhabitants, should be from 8 to 40 times tank volume per hour. Skimmer, more than rated by manufacturer for these tanks, will be nice. Heater 250W or so. Lighting 250W metal halide, if possible.

Only this tank is not exactly nano :)
