Skimmers in nanos?

[n.smith360]

I've currently got a 32l tank with no skimmer. I'm looking at getting some corals. Question is do I need a skimmer? I do 10-15% weekly changes with LFS salted ro water. My lights are blue/white LED. It's an aqua one expression 32.

a skimmer always helps in my opinion. I think your lights may be a little on the weak side though. What's the specs on it?

Yea that lights not going to support any corals except mushrooms and maybe zoanthids. I don't know exactly how tall your tank is but based on the picture it looks pretty tall for its size.

Any recommendations on lighting? Is it just brightness I'm looking for?

always recommend a par38 bulb, great bang for your buck and a skimmer isnt necessary. Water changes will suffice

Like Matty said you could go with a par 38 or one of the 120 watt brick fixtures that alot of people are using now. The only downside with the 120 watt is you need to find a way to hang it. The par 38's can be used with a gooseneck
