hi bro..i think you could get a beckette skimmer from some bros here if you want Buying a beckette can save you some trouble in time to come as it is a really good skimmer...i dont think the running cost of the skimmer is expensive...For me i think its the chiller btw you cant get cheap/reasonable price for euipments from bros in the sell/palsar malam section ;)And 2K is maybe abit tight as you say its your budget for everything including the tank..and you still have to get testkits,marine salt,LS and LRs e.t.c
Just my 2 cents
