The halogens don't really have too good a rep in Marine Aquaria due to their spectrum.
Make sure there is no media in the Eheim and be sure to clean it out with a damp cloth on a regular basis as detrius will accumulate in it which in turn will create a myriad of other problems.
Otherwise everything looks in order.
If you're worried that your skimming might be under powered just feed lightly.
One last thing, if you plan on keeping the hermits, don't bother buying any more Turbo's.....they are an expensive way to feed your hermits.

well said dman. Also be careful of adding other shrimp with the CBS. I don't have any experience, but have heard that when they get established they can become very agressive towards other shrimp in the tank.

Nice pic
