skimmerless zoo tank

[lunker]

my first post on central, I am downsizing from my 150 gallon to a 32 gallon display, with a 20 gallon fuge, filled with rubblerock and cheato, my plan is to keep the display tank full of just zoas and ricordias, there will be around 50# of live rock, and I am also transfering my small scooter blenny, a 3/4" melon goby, and a sunburst anthia, can I run this set up without a skimmer, the only problem I forsee is feeding anthia twice a day with brine shrimp, but feedings should be small, any comments suggestions are appreciated, thanks, Marc.

Should be fine as long as you make up for it with frequent water changes.

ditto 20% twice a month

5 gallons every 10-14 days would work...

yeah i did a 40 gal skimmerless zoo tank for a long time, with small feedings good clean up crew and alot of water changes you will be fine. i recently just got a skimmer because i came into some money and its a bit easier.
