IMO coralife skimmers are not very good. Euro reef skimmers are very good.
I really like the ASM skimmers. I dont think that you can more bang for your buck with any other skimmer. You just need to make sure the skimmer tha tyou want will fit into your sump. Jason is correct about removinf the Bio-balls, they will eventually cause Nitrate Problems. Putting LR in place of them is an idea, but LR will collect detrius, and can itself become a Trate-Factory.

It sound like you have a pretty good start. Just be sure to
I think getting rid of the Canister is a great idea. Even if you have no media in it besides Chemical, it will still collect detrius.
It sounds like you have a pretty good start. Just be sure to go slow. When you are ready to get your LR, I would highly suggest looking at online vendors, many of them have great rock, for much less than LFS.

Good luck with your reefing adventure~Michael
