Its very nice I must say, and I totally understand where you are coming from. My tank had no fish at all for months.

It is entirely possible to run without a skimmer, but you still get protein buildup. I did, and could imagine why. Nothing that a weekly / bi-weekly WC wont solve though.

On the plus side, you will have a ton of pods, and tons of beneficial stuff for you corals to feed on -- stuff that usually gets taken out by the skimmer so I believe.

Regards,
Conor.
