No I appreciate it I would rather do without one. So if I dont have a skimmer should I just do partial water changes about twice a week or once or? Atm I am doing them about once every 10 days. I have a skimmer on it atm though but its not a great one.

:( I know I wish I could have bigger but it is all that will fit under my tank

I am adding a sump soon and changing my skimmer out for one that is in sump. My tank is a 33g Long reef and I am adding a little 10g sump. could anyone suggest a decent skimmer for under 200 bucks? thanks in advance

I was also considering a hob filter / skimmer combo...

I was wondering what kind of inverts I should get for my 30g L reef tank. I don't want to get anything that will be aggressive towards my fish or inhabitants. I was thinking turbo snails for one, but I don't know what else to get. I like the emerald crab but I hear they can kill or damage your...

Nope. I would not but I was just curious because my girlfriend saw them at an aquarium in Tennessee and I thought they were a very neat specimen so I wanted to ask. I guess technically I could afford one, I mean thats not anymore than I spent on my vehicle or motorcycle but I would never fork...
