Dsb with 5" Caribsea sand
 
Lifereef VS3-24 with your choice of DC pump. Not the sexiest option but you’ll never have to worry about a skimmer again!
 
Why does the DSB impact your choice of skimmer ? Not questioning, just wanting to learn.
DSB helps to slim down the tank by reducing pollutants and organic matter

if I were to install a high-performance skimmer I would reduce the useful substance for the aquarium too much
