Who has a skimmer on their nano and who goes without? What's your experience/recommendations?
I don't have a skimmer on my 12g nano. I have sponges, bioballs, seachem denigrate and Purigen in my filter. I clean the sponges once a week in the one gallon of tank water I change out I had fowlr for about three years and then added soft corals and one lps a few months ago. My nitrates are always low (10 or less), I never have measurable phosphates and the corals seem happy. I'm not planning on getting a skimmer because my tank is stable without one. What's everyone else's experience been?
