lots and lots of water changes. If you run a filter with activated carbon, and dose and test your tank properly, that means less water changes.
Again it depends on who you talk to. Some people say you HAVE to have them, old skool reefers say you dont need them. I used one until it started...
skimmers pull a heck of alot more elements from the water then activated carbon. The downside to activated carbon is once it stops working, it starts...
