I've been checking out small tanks that LFS have set up and none of them have skimmers, just a HOB filter (with filter floss, carbon and LR rubble). I asked how long they've been set up, one store said 6mos and the other said over a year. Both had 2 small clown fish and said they just do small w/c each week and clean the filters. The tanks look awesome, and i'd like to have something simple like that but i'm not sure if there's more to the story or if those tanks will look like crap in another year or two. One was a 5g the other 10g. I found a few similar set ups on online:
