IMHO, I think Big D is right, a proper sump/fuge and a new skimmer is hard to beat. Good news is the sump can be build for pretty cheap and the skimmer can be found used for a good deal on these boards. You will need better lights but your tank is going to be hard to fit anything that is not a retro-kit. Again, parts can be found pretty cheap on here from time to time and whatever you can not find used here, you can buy new. My splurge item would be a $300 controller like the RK-II or the AJjr. IMHO, it makes things so much easier.
Again, shoot me a PM if you want to stop by and get a few ideas.
