Thats really cool looking. Are you going to have anything in the overflow section besides the carbon or is it just to break the surface tension?

Beware... I set up a nano for my girlfriend a while back to help teach her how to run my tank when I'm out of town... Guess who does all of the work to keep it running? You bet: ME! lol

I think it would depend on how much live rock you have. I've got a bunch in my nano (15 Gallons) without a skimmer and it's doing great.

I believe a skimmer will actually be a disadvantage on such a small tank, it will always lead to over-skimming which is something you want to avoid since your coral to water volume ratio will be much higher than a larger tank.

This is an interesting thread. I may do something similar to this with my 20G as I may have decided to replace it with a homebuilt custom acrylic tank, if I can find a supplier for acrylic sheet / tube and solvent in Manitoba or Saskatchewan.
