Question for all you nano guys

[slick]

Here is the situation. I was sitting around thinking about my tank. I started looking around and discovered that I had enough extra equipment lying around to start a 10g nano. It has cc in the bottom ( I know I have a dsb in my display) A hang on the back filter, heater, reg lighting and about 10lbs of lr. Now my question is do I need a skimmer for it? It will be lightly stocked once cycled.
Thanks

I dont have a skiimer for mine. I do a 1 gallon water change at least once a week. I have an extra skimmer but the tank is too full. I have a small mated clown pair in it right now. I have 72watts of lights on mine.

Skimmers aren't necessary for nano reefs. You just have to do regular water changes often and keep all the levels stabilized.

hmmm, i had a 10 gallon nano, and i couldnt have done without a skimmer, even a skilter will work, also a good powerfilter...not much on the skimming part but you can modify it...

skimmer free is right for me- well on this tank anyway
