Tank Up Grades?

[amstar15]

i have a mudd filter. it measures 27" in length and is 16" high. i have a 75 gallon tank. what is the best skimmer out there for my sump. it is a reef tank. near 30 corals, 175 pounds of live rock. i want to take my tank to the next level. i am going to add a wavemaker (4 powerheads in the main tank), start adding o-zone to my tank (so it would be nice if i can go through the skimmer as well)

also i am wanting to add a controllers such as ph, salinty, orp, as well as for my heater and chiller. even though my heater has not come on in a long time. as well as a controller for my lights. is there anything out there that can handle of these functions.

Many ppl will tell u dif things here about skimmers, but a good cheap skimmer is the Super Skimmer by Coralife, u could get the one rated for 125 gallons that would be more thn enough.

As for a controller i know reefrs use the Neptune Systems AquaControllerII, u can hook up a ph, temp, salinity monitors. You can tell it to turn on ur lights a a certaint time turn them off, even turn them of if the temp gets to high in ur tank. It can turn fans on turn fans off according to the temp of the tank. This thing does EVERYTHING (almost). lol I wish i had one, but i dont wanna spend almost 500 fot the controller and all the pinpoint gauges.
