Contemplating a Skimmerless Tank

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Very nice, Anthony! What did you do to maintain it? And Marie, how is yours doing?

So I've been skimmerless for a few weeks now. My observations so far: the film on the glass seems to accumulate more quickly, but is not out of control. No reoccurences of nuisance algae otherwise.

The polyp extension is insane. All of my corals are fuller and bigger than I've ever seen them. In particular, the bubble coral, short-tentacle plate, frogspawn and mushrooms.
