I've run tanks up to 33 gallons successfully without a skimmer. Key is good surface agitation and frequent water changes.
Is there a reason you're set on PC as opposed to T5s? if you're wanting to only keep softies and LPS etc, you could find a nice 2 bulb or even a 4 bulb for relatively cheap and be able to grow anything (because we all know you eventually will get SPS) And they don't produce as much heat as PC bulbs

I've got so much glue on my pants it looks like a Friday night gone horribly wrong.
