no skimmer?

I read about setups without skimmer, but i doubt it works. Does anyone have
it?
Any pictures of such setup?

yep plenty of them. for nano's setups with a skimmer are a tad harder to
find, for larger
setups the reverse is true, but there out there
how big tank should be? maybe more important is bio-load?

but i doubt it works.
why ???
Does anyone have it?
i did, but dont now, as ive added a skimmer .
that's the reason, many has tried, and almost all of them has added skimmers
later
Why you did that?

Any pictures of such setup?
thats a much harder task, try nano-reefs.com or many other places.
reefcentral probibly
has a few.
pictures are needed to see (to belive), as i said, some people arguing it's
good idea (no loosing of good nutrients and plankton) but can't find it
really works

there really isnt an exact # you just asked for an example i gave you a few, wanting
pictures means you need to go to places with better odds of running one w/o a skimmer the
nano section has real good odds of finding one w/o a skimmer.

but i doubt it works.

the skimmer is not a requirement, though I recomend them. they do cut down on the work
requried to maintain a reef. they also allow more slack to newbies who are more likely to
make mistakes.

I added the skimmer because i could, there were no problems with the tank, much the same
as me adding my ca reactor, its not required many ppl have tanks w/o them, but I have one,
it means I can add less addatives and my ca/alk stays where I like them.

think of what a skimmer is, it isnt a maricle filter it doesnt remove all of anything it
only helps to remove things before they break down and are required to be filtered by
another process, it also adds oxygen to a tank. if skimmers were new, you would be able
to easily find pics of both, but there not new anymore, as for you beliveing, you will
have to search around, ive given you 2 sites I am sure both have many, you can also use
groups.google.com to search here, you will find older posts from people w/o skimmers
