A skimmer is a MUST though, if you're going to does vodka, sugar, or the like...right? I don't have a skimmer (yet) so I can't use this method, I believe.

imo tex a skimmer is essential anyhow, plenty of reefers do get by without 1 but i wouldnt even think about going skimmerless, i recon you should ask santa to get you 1 for christmas

If you can help me figure a way to install this sump I've concocted, I'll have a skimmer here by Monday! I have NO clearance for a HOB, and quite a difficult cabinet/drilled tank to work with.

EUPHORICGEAR, this isnt instead of cheato, this i for when cheato just cant catch up, im about at the point where i will be doing some vodka dosing myself, im doing 10% weekly water changes and still cant get my nitrates bellow 40 ppm, this is with a fuge full of macro, the back class covered in hair algae, and a light fethering over all my rocks as well as cutting feeding back to every other day for the past 3 months, i think if i can get the initial bulk of nitrates down the rest will fall into line


oh ok. well i guess i wont be doing this since i dont have this problem yet.
