//skimmer question//

[Static]

There are many people who run tanks with no skimmer. I ran my tank like that for the first few months. In my power filter instead of the normal sponge I filled it with live rock. Sponge filters tend to get clogged with detritus and need to be cleaned regularly. You'll have to keep up regular water changes because they will be your main source of nutrient export without a skimmer.

Good luck and enjoy
