low-profile equipment for nano tanks?

[sillysidewinder]

So now that I've been in the hobby for about two years, i feel like it is time to upgrade my tank. (I just graduated from college :thrash

The equipment that I currently have is as follows:

25 gallon Mr. Cube tank (18"x18"x18")
HOT Magnum filter
(1) Koralia 240
(2) Evil Par38 lights
(1) 40 degree optics
(1) 80 degree optics
50 watt heater - My tank is 76 deg (I think I need a more powerful heater)

Lighting - I would like basic controllability but more than just on and off, nothing too elaborate. I have been considering the Maxspect 60 watt 1st generation and AI Sol Nano. I would like to upgrade but don't need a bunch of bells and whistles.

Filtration - I want to keep it very simple and low-profile. I like the look of the meme skimmer, but need something more substantial than that. I would like to be able to run more than just carbon which I do now.

Powerhead - I would love an MP10, however, no way am I paying that much for a powerhead. I'm going to get it when something newer/better comes out and everyone starts selling theirs. :smash: It would be nice to have a more random current with another powerhead.

Potentially at some point. However the post was made in order to get suggestions on stuff to replace what I currently have. Got any suggestions?

Heater - Finnex 100W Heater with Digital Controller
Lights - i dont what u plan u have in there as in for coral but i would go with Aqualight High Output T5 Light Fixtures
Skimmer - Depending on how much ur willing for spend for one n im guessin it going to b a hangback skimmer since u wont b using a sump/refugium ?

yes to the hang on filtration/potentially a HOB skimmer. I would really prefer something simple that I could have a few different algaes/flitration materials. I would prefer LED's for light becuase of the minimal power consumption. I'm thinking the AI Sol Nano Blue.
