i dont no which 1 to get first skimmer or lights...i currently have a 72b/f rr with pro-clear 75 wet-dry filter ....skimmer sux that comes with filter .....lights that i currently have are 48"orbit fixture 260 watts.......corals consist of shrooms,zoos,galaxia,pagoda,red and green brain,,,,,,,,,,,also will i be able to put a t5ho fixture inside my canopy,,,,,,,,reason i ask is cause i have the oceanic abs plastic canopy and u really cant put a retro kit inside the canopy the 2 tops come off... my fixture i have in there now is ok i had to drill holes on each side of canopy that line up with the fixture fan and the exhaust and on top of that i put 2 fans on top 1 blowing in and 1 blowing out so i was wondering if i will be ok with t5ho set up the same way

Get the skimmer first to improve water quality before you upgrade lighting.

With the critters you have now you will get more benefit from the skimmer than the lights for now.
