Is this a saltwater tank? You don't need a filter that is what your live rock is for, a filter is usually a bad thing in saltwater traps all the junk and then your running all your water through this, unless you can comit to clean on a regular basis. If you want one for hang on the back to run carbon or poly wool the odd time pick up a aquaclear filter. As for skimmer if your bio load is low you don't need one. If i were you i would take the money you were going to buy the new filter with a pick up a Deltec mce 600. It has a media chamber for your carbon and is the best hang on skimmer you can buy.
Just an idea but its what i run and there awesome. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ghlight=deltec http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ghlight=deltec
