a good tank size to start off with 
i have the same size tank but with a sump.
i would add 2 power heads so 2 Koralia 1s
a skimmer deltec is very good try and get one from ebay
you will not need a filter. your live rock will be the filter.
but if u have the filter then you can put live rock rubble and carbon etc in it
are going to have corals? so a reef or a fish only?
you will need test kits. so ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,ph that will do until or if u get corals
you will need salt d&d salt is good
and a refractometer about £31 new http

Hi Mike.
Firstly do you want a fish only system or full reef?
2 korallia 1 powerheads £50
Deltec mce 300 or 600 £130 or £250
refractometer £30
salt (any salt really, i prefer redsea coral pro) £40-50
test kits £30
Liverock, 12-15kgs £150
Of course there are many different makes of equipment and they are all new prices, you should be able to get a good chunk off buying used.

If you are serious about the boxfish, they unfortunately get very very large (almost two feet, 60cm, depending on species!), so the tank size you're planning will not be large enough 
If you're looking to do a more aggressive tank in a small tank like that, tobies are great little fish that are related to puffers. Many of them only get around 4 inches (10 cm). They are not reef safe though, so if you do end up going down the coral route (which everyone does eventually), they will most likely eat all your corals.

Would still do Live rock. It's a great natural filtration.
