That's progress. I'll say something that might get me in trouble here. All this talk of the skimmer being the lifeblood of a reef aquarium and having to control PO4/NO3 is utter nonsense I've come to learn. There are huge names out there advocating this, against a nobody on a forum, so its up to you to find out first hand.Just updating - slimer looks FLUFFY. Looks awesome, hoping it was this easy of a fix.
Honestly, no skimmer and 50%+ fortnightly water changes is easy mode for sticks. Watch your bio filter take nutrients to 0 on the test kits and your SPS thrive. I haven't tested for anything but KH in years on tanks full of SPS. The money we spend on equipment, chemical/mechanical filtration, trying to get the PAR just right ect, its rubbish.
Eliminate as many variables as possible beyond a tank full of natural sea water with some fish and a quality light. For me, that's a marine Pure block, bag of cheap carbon and 2lb of zeolite in a reactor.
