Yeah, alot of the macro's you have listed should be grown on the rocks. The codium, ulva, gracilaria and (I think) the liagora need to be anchored on them to grow properly. If it's going to be a macro-dominated tank, then you probably won't have to have the skimmer. It won't hurt, but it won't do much. At least that's what the stuff I've read has said, lol.
