As i was sitting in front of my tank cursing the Skimmer God, an idea (bright or not) came to my mind. We use the skimmer to take out any non fish tank loving junk to help control our nitrates and phosphates. Which I completely understand.
What came to my mind was our tanks go through a series of twists and turns just to go back to our DT why wouldn't the CPE, Purigen, CPE, and filter floss that most of us run act as the skimmer catching all the junk and an algae scrubber taking care of the nitrates and phosphates? Also add to the CUC ;]
Just curious as to what people think about this, and if its just me really wanting to get rid of the skimmer or if its an actual logical though process for once haha
