When I first setup my 55g April 2008
Now: Sump: I would highly highly highly suggest a skimmer. |

thx for the pics. i saw a video of a guy who had a skimmerless tank for 10years. i will try to post a link....http://www.reefvideos.com/ and look for Andreas skimmerless 72g. its a nice tank for no skimmer.
(keep posting those 55g gallon tanks.)

get a skimmer. for my 55g im looking at an octopus nw-150 or a vertex IN-100 (waiting for a little to see if the vertex would be a better shot). The octo only costs ~160 and the vertex ~200. the guy that went skimmerless for 10years probably had a lot of experience under his belt. good luck
