New to GIRS

Posted this on the general but thought I might copy over here since this is the group closest to me.
I'm Ray and I've been around saltwater for the past 4-5 years. I've managed a petstore for a year and worked as a employee of another for 2 1/2 years. I started out with freshwater when I was 16 and it eventually lead to a 15g with a clownfish and a yellow tang(bring your pitchforks I dare you!), then into a 75 and finally a 120. After a few major life changes I was downgraded to 3 gallons... Now I am back up to a 29g which is plumbed into the same sump as my 10g which sits behind it on the same stand. My goal with this system is to make things more automated because of the hours I work.
So far I'm in the process of adding an ATO and the next step will be either a controller of some sort or a mp10 for better circulation. Eventually I will add a second skimmer to the system, as I like LOTS of poopin fish and I will need more than the Aquatic Life skimmer that keeps up quite well to the current stock right now.
