what kind of macro were you thinking and are you going to use it directly in your display or keep it isolated in your sump ??

I think you would need a metric tonne of macro to completely replace what a skimmer does.....like Denny said you will need to adjust your maintenance routine...... whats the issue with your skimmer?

You need to call the skimmerman for all your skimmer needs

i use a bubble magus and it works awesome when it is working. Problem is that the air line keeps getting slighlty clogged and the skimmer over flows and makes a huge mess.
I have always used a skimmer but lately i think growing chateo in the sump might be easier.

I'll have to agree with reefwars.
Not having a skimmer just means you have to limit you bioload, feeding and increase the dilution of your pollution through consistant weekly/bi-weekly water changes.

For the natural route check out algae turf scrubbers and deep sand beds.
What is clogging the airline? I've had good luck so far with a pill bottle silencer. You could add additional airline intakes so they take longer to clog. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...owtopic=168424
