Running a Skimmerless tank

The only other thing that comes to mind is whether or not running skimmer-less gives your home a fishy smell[/QUOTE]

Well when I dont empty my skimmer cup for 4-5 days my basement where my sump is smells like an effluent plant, but my skimmer cup is about the size of a pail of ice cream. And Palmer you would have a change of opinion on the Bubble King skimmrs after running one on your tank for a while. I've tried alot of different skimmers and you cant beat them IMO.

You know I totally believe you I would probably love it but my tank is in good shape and has been without significant issue so I dont want to find out I want to remain naive lol... I would rather put the additional money into an expensive controller or another expensive powerhead.
