Hi ,,,,

Im planning for 55g marine fish only with live rock , but i dont have place for skimmer ! did you think the skimmer important for fish tank with live rock !

You can go without a skimmer, so long as you keep adequate water changes. The amount/timing of water changes will depend on your tank's readings of ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, and phosphates.

I would say for that size, skimmer would be a very good addition..

Yes, I would get one for sure!

"but i dont have place for skimmer"

Huh?
Better do some shopping around.
There's some great HOB skimmers on the market.
Sfter what I've seen come out of a skimmer....I wouldn't run a tank without one.

I would get a skimmer. It is fine to start off with a HOB, as I did, but you might want to upgrade to a sump, as I am doing.

OH I'm going blind! Like ejrabekoff said you can use a HOB (hang on back) of your tank.
