I wasn't 'finger pointin'

I see cyano called algae a lot, and more than once in this post
I still like using my skimmer
I get about 250ml per week of very skanky stuff, so I think it's beneficial to run one
On the other hand, I've seen some pretty nice tanks this last year that are skimmer-less so, in the hands of learned reefers, I guess either way is OK
The only other thing that comes to mind is whether or not running skimmer-less gives your home a fishy smell
