There are so many people with small tanks that don't use a skimmer and their tanks do extremely well. In fact, the Canreef Tank of the Month does not use a skimmer, sump or refuge and it looks amazing. I know some people are going to say that I need a skimmer but as I mentioned before, there is proof that a tank without a skimmer can be done successfully.

I did a bit more research and found the name of this algae, RED TURF ALGAE. Apparently Mexican Turbo snails eat this algae. I wonder if J$L has some in stock.

cheers
