Ace,

How do you not run a skimmer? My tank and sump are sized similar to yours. It's well established. I hardly feed at all. I have constant problems with cyano and bryopsis and I have a skimmer and carbon and phoslock every two weeks. (Yes, RO/DI and 12%/week water changes, Kent salt, DSB, calcium reactor w/ ARM).

My QT tank gets no food and it grows cyano, with a skimmer. It gets new water, not main display water. It has two peppermint shrimp and some hermits and snails, maybe not enough.

I was going to put this in Allan's thread but I didn't want to hijack it.
