I've found that the most reliable heater for a larger system is a closed loop PEX line off your hot water tank.

Bubble Magus skimmers are a pretty good bang for your buck. I have the IceCap K2-160 which I absolutely love (skins great, it's quiet and looks sharp). That being said I have never sourced out a skimmer for that big of a setup
