Welp, i am 6 months in now, still not running the skimmer. I guess its safe for me to say, I don't need it. Bring on the silence! :D

How do you maintain such a clean looking and vibrant tank without a skimmer. I am about to buy a used 130d, as an intro to reefing, and will need to buy a skimmer as sold without one?

I actually have no filtration at all aside from live rock and that one sponge under the overflow in the back. I am not sure if my water change method is helping, but I think it probably is. I was doing 5 gallon water changes once per month, but with the heavy bio-load I had (7fish), I changed to once a week, then, I started doing 1 gallon per day, as I find it much easier to do than 5 gallons at once, so I have been sticking with that :)
