o boy... your lifes all over lol. Dude if I were you I'd sell the halide setup you have now, get yourself two 150 HQI's and some decent actinics (not the junk you have now that makes the water look like a 70's disco ball) Then I would invest in some quality liverock and just use what you got as the base, I mean go get some heavily encrusted coraline because you have terrible skills at growing it yourself. Then you'll have the groundwork set for a nice tank. If I only had a way to get you the premium indo rock I've got at the store, its encrusted with coraline, various macro algeas, sponge, and some pieces even have live corals growing on them.
I'm not saying go hog wild now but your only a couple bills away from getting the tank in check, all you need is a couple of decent things to get you in the right direction. heck most people's tanks down here don't even have skimmers and they are in perfect condition with corals everywhere.
As for the girlfriend issue, your on your own champ lol welcome to the world of women.....
now got my fingers crossed that my wanatabei angels come in tomorrow
