    Thanks! I was also wanting to ask if its ok that I have a small powerhead, or will I need to get another one with more output? I also do not have a protein skimmer, but I've also read that you dont have to have one.. any thoughts on that?

    I really like the rock work in your tank.
    I have read posts where people dont use a protein skimmer and they seem to be doing fine, but I as most use a protein skimmer. I feel there are more benefite to having a protein skimmer than not. I guess if you want to do really frequent water changes you could go without, but for me that would get real old real quick. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, just my .02
