Do I believe in them, yes. do I think you need to do it every week/two weeks/moonth/year ect... it depends on your tank and what you have in it and what equipment you have supporting it.

My tank has been running skimerless since day one. The only equipment that's in the tank is the following: 2 Koralias, Heater and a Biowheel 300(rinse the cartridges daily to prevent nitrites from building up. Tank is free of algae, in fact it has never had any type of algae.
