Hey guys,
Well I used to have a 80 gallon, I had to break it down over a year ago, as I left for the military, now that I'm stationed and situated for a while. I'm going to start a nano for right now.
Bought a fluval edge, and going to use that.
I was reading a couple months back about not using a skimmer in favor of a "scrubber", and then not using a skimmer at all. Which is the situation I'm going to be in as I have no sump plans at the present time. A ton of reefers swore by the theory of having enough rock will suffice for lack of a skimmer. I'm going to have to try this.
I'm just looking for any general advice and do's/don'ts.
I know I'm going to have to keep an eye on ammonia and whatnot, a really close eye.
Quite honestly, being without a reef for this long makes me feel like a beginner all over again, and I actually feel a bit nervous about the whole thing.
Please hit me with any advice, no matter how mundane/elementary, etc... you may think it is.
Thank you.
