first post

hello all, this is my first post on any forum. I have been reading the posts on here and i am very impressed with all of the knowledge that everybody has.
i have had a salt water tank set up now for about a year and have been going very slowly. i don't make a lot of $$ and everthing that you need seems to cost so much $$.

this is what i have so far...

-60 gal. tank (L48"XW18"XD18")
-Prizm protine skimmer (i think it is to small)
-Magnum 350 Pro canister filter with active carbon
-4 X 50/50 20w Coral Life Compac Florecents
-2" live sand
-about 80lbs of assorted live rock (i got most of it off of a friend at work so i'm not sure where it came from)
-1 yellow tang
-1 lawnmower blenny
-1 yellow prawn goby
-2 cleaner shrimp
-2 pepermint shrimp ( got these because i had about 15-20 aptasias that hitched a ride on some rock, they took care of the problem in a couple of weeks. i have not seen any for quite a while now.)
-about 30 blue leg hermits and 4 red scaelet hermits.

I have been trying to deal with a hair algea problem for ever it seems, just when i think it has gone away it comes back. very frustrating. i am pretty sure that i need a larger skimmer. what kind should i get that wont break my bank acount. i only have 23" of vertical space under my stand. i was thinking about buying the Remora (20-75gal) hang on from J&L , to hang on the side of the over flow i plan on building out of a 10gal tank i have. is this a good skimmer and will work for what i have. i plan on having mayby 5-6 more fish, ihave not desided what kind yet.
for the lighting (which i am not so concerded with at this moment as i have no coarls yet) what more do you think i need to succesfully keep LPS corals.

thank you all in advance for your feedback
