A skimmer alone just wouldn't keep up with this feeding schedule so if water changes were not an option I would consider a large algae scrubber or carbon dosing like vodka or Po3Po4x . The RBTA's might not like the ultra-low nutrient environment but with this many fish, the food and waste it might be ok.

My 180g ClownFish Harem tank, 55 clowns + 25 Bta's. My sump is a 125g tank. I run a Reef octopus 150 int skimmer, 10"x12" algae scrubber, and I run a carbon reactor. I do 1 50g water change about every 6 weeks.
