-Well I'm goin' all softies so I'll try that,thanks. -I just wonder how the lps corals will take the ''no skimmer'' system? -cuz i plan on goin' 70% softies and
30% lps corals.

I had a few lps in my skimmerless and they survived but didnt do too well. I dont know if it was because of the no skimmer. However if money is not an issue I suggest if you want any lps at all to get a skimmer. My softies grew a little slower but they still grew when I added the skimmer and the lps did much better with the skimmer.

Just remember you need to go slow...dont add 57 different corals the first week. If you go slow and pace the additions to your tank, do your regular water changes, you may not need a skimmer for 3 or 4 months. That will give you time to find one that someone else has out grown for a reasonable price. By the time all that happens you will know what you really want and need. Or you can do it the way I did and buy 3 different skimmers before you get the one that works best for you and your system.
