    Set-up With No Sump

    I wouldnt bother with the 2 externals, maybe one to run rowaphos or similar if you already have one at hand but with loads of live rock and water movement IMO you dont need any externals at all You could put a fake wall(partition) at the back of your tank and house all the equipment there kinda...

    Help With Sick/dying Fish

    I'd start by not buying anything else from that guy He should have the fish looking healthy in his own tanks before removing and passing on to her. Has she got any water test kits? Nitrate, Phosphate, Amonia, PH, etc, If not tell her to bring a sample to her lfs for testing

    New Tank + Novice- Dangerous Mix!

    I'd personally use a skimmer, the TMC V2 skimmers are very resonable and work very well compared to others on the market I'd ditch the 2 filters and get 2 x Tunze nanostreams or Koralias(actually maybe run rowaphos or phosban in the external on second thoughts) I'd also definitly use LR I've...
