Hi to all those whom have taken the time to read this.
I am new in the hobby and have a red sea reefer200(pfp). My tank is cycle and about at day 12. Used Dr Tims to cycle. Rites are around 5ppm and rates are about 30/35. But thats just current info.
My question is this. Im not planning on having a ton of fish. Probably about 6-8 two clowns, 4 chromis, and possibly 2 mandarins. Im wondering if i can skip a skimmer and just have a refugium set up. I have a picture of my current sump set up. Can i just turn the main part of the sump into a refuge for filtration and copepod populations?
I can move the reefmat more to the back of the sump..
