Default Help Please with filtration

Dear 3reef friends,

I just got a new 55 gallon tank and plan on having a fish only salt tank and was looking into filtration at the pet store the man tried to sell me the Tom Aquatics Rapid Pro Series PS3 and said it would take care of all my skimming and filtration needs for the fish only salt. What to you know about this product and it it worth the $240. I only want to spend this much on a filter and skimmer are there any other sugestions of combinations or is this one my best bet. Thank you for your time and help to those that answer.

Im not familar with that product but for a fish only tank I think you need not spend so much money, probably get something decent for half that.
