DvSKiN, very nice. Is the one Clown your only fish?

I do 10% monthly. I've been skimmerless for 2 years. Went from a 55 to a 100 and now my RR 90.
Skimmers are great to start off, but I think the corals benifit more without a skimmer pulling everything out that you put in. IMHO.
I use less plankton because I know it wont get sucked out. Same with the other stuff I use. Except kalk.

Here's a recent shot of mine. It's been up since Nov 7, 2002. I do weekly water changes of 1 gallon and I run carbon a day before the change. I only have 3 fish (2 clowns and a 6-line wrasse) I initially meant to get a skimmer but got lazy. My nitrates are stable at .5 mg /L. I've never had hair algae (hopefully I didn't jinx myself). I had 2 small cyano outbreaks which were cured by changing 2 gallons instead of my normal 1 gallon change.
