No a skimmer is MUCH more efficient/effective than a small fuge.
You can build it out of anything that's saltwater proof. Many of us use Rubbermaid tubs for frag tanks and even sumps. Cheap and works great. Easy to drill.
Look into the reef octopus HOB skimmers.
Ok now there is another problem. Ether my API test kit is giving me false readings or the cycle is going to take longer than expected. I have had about the same readings for the past 4 days I believe now View attachment 238370
just wait a month... but maybe you need to remove a bit ammonia now...
BTW Your water looks stagnant. Do you have power head to circulate water?
