I have a Red Sea Max Nano (20g) that I'm setting up as a RFA and 2 fish only tank. Will the nem's be fine without running a protein skimmer? The included skimmer is quite loud and before I purchase a new one, I'd ask if the RFA's would be okay and thrive with water changes only?

Thanks-

It depends on if you feed them consistently. If your just feeding 2 fish, water changes should do fine but if your going to feed your fish and rock flowers consistently, I'd run a skimmer.
