Honestly, why advocate against the use of skimmers?
Why create a thread that may sway new reefers onto the wrong path. In life, and the reef hobby for that matter, we must strive to keep moving forward.
I have a 30gl LPS/ZOO/Shroom tank that is currently running skimmerless. The tank is clean and looks good, but the tank is only a few months old. In this setup a skimmerless system could be of use, but it has no place in an SPS system.
I firmly belive that for an SPS tank to run at its best it MUST include a skimmer. After seeing the HUGE improvement a large skimmer can make I would NEVER run one without it.
To the thread starter, why would you want our hobby to move backward?
You cant argue with the results of running a large skimmer on an SPS tank:
