If it is fish only, you don't necessarily need a skimmer. Do your weekly
water changes, don't over feed and keep the fish load low and you should be
okay. You may want to consider using some live rock in the tank as well
(known as a live rock fish only LRFO set up), that will help with
filtration. Just remember with this set up, you have to be careful if you
have to medicate. Also, you may want to consider using a UV set up... (call
Ron H. and ask him about it).

Subject: Skimmer a must?
I have a 18 gallon I am almost through setting up for fish only. I
will use a
bio wheel & live sand for filtration. I do not entend to over load
the tank
with critters & was hoping to get around buying a skimmer. I hate to
buy a
cheap one that is not efficient. But I also hate forking out alot of
$$$ for
something I can get by without for awhile.
What are some opions on a skimmerless tank?
