I am in the process of setting up a Mr. Aqua 7.5 gallon cube (12x12x12). Lighting will be a Par38 20K, 10 Gallon sump, Eheim 1000 return pump, Mp 10 for flow. I am torn on what skimmer to use. I wouldn't worry about a skimmer but am thinking of doing mainly SPS in this tank. Any advice or personal experience on a good skimmer for a this set up would be much appreciated.
 
I personally wouldn't bother with a skimmer on a tank that size sps or not. You won't have a bioload big enough to need a skimmer imo. Run some chemi-pure elite and live rock and change out about 1.5 gallons every 10 days or so and you should be set. jmo

I appreciate the input.... I've ran Chempiure for years. It's a must have IMO.... I know a skimmer may not be completely necessary for this system . I would still prefer to have one though. On my 20 lps tank I have never ran a skimmer and only change 3-4 gallons every couple of months. Tank has done outstanding and colors are insane. .... Just the sps makes me a little wary.
