Hey mike, yeah Im skimmerless right now, Im hoping the cheato will do the job for me now untill it gets a little more diverse. I ran the skimmer right after it cycled to clean everything right up.
Take a look at this tank, Im hoping for something along the lines of this, all he's got is cheato and a few hangon filters
