Yes, you will be fine. Skimmers really don't do anything except filter some stuff before the live rock can filter it. Without a skimmer, your live...
I think bio-balls get a lot of bad press due to user error. In reality, they are the most efficient filtration you can use for a marine aquarium of...
A good protein skimmer would be a good next move. It's best to do the first water change right when the cycle is finished. There should be some...
Welcome to 3reef.
If you do retro it be sure to get splash guards on everything and make sure the guards for the MH are glass. Most fixtures have some room in the...
Welcome to 3reef. We will soon be carrying Aquaticlife lighting here: SWC Skimmers I just finished testing the 6 bulb a few days ago. The timers...
Everything will be fine. Corals begin to live on somewhat of a schedule just like fish do. Around the same time everyday corals will begin to get...

I agree, when I stick my hand in my marine tank, my fish act like I'm the devil. No matter how much I like them there isn't ever any return of the...
I think this depends some on what you consider your fish as. I know there are a lot of people who see them as pets and would never want to return...
It died:( If you take a close enough look at this tank it has so much life in it that I may not end up adding any fish. lol thank you.
This is a bit odd coming from a rep for a skimmer company. You do not NEED a skimmer. Live rock is by far the most important filtration on a marine...
My personal choice would be the CTS mostly for the suspension tuning. I'm sure when you test drive them one will stand out to you.

I agree, but than again, isn't it better to buy the one you want the first time and not buy again? I didn't see much description on that website....
