Having seen all that (and being in complete aw), what specifics could i start with, just to test it out? And if i discover that I do in fact need an occasional skimming, any recommendations?
Thanks Again,

Skimmers...Is that your final answer?
What's up people. I've been reading the countless posts on skimmers, and gathering peoples different thoughts on the subject. But, I want to get right down to it...my tank! I'm shelling out $850 month for this beautiful apartment, and the largest tank i can have is my 10 gallon. and you better believe it's saltwater! I've had it up for about a year now, and so far so good. I would've put other creatures in there, but i was told i couldn't without a skimmer, and i haven't found one even close to a 10 gal. Some have said that skimmers aren't needed at all, others quite the opposite. So, i want to know what you guys think for my tank. can i have live rock, snails, shrimp, (yes, i fully understand tank capacity, these are just suggestions), etc.
Thanks for your help guys!

Thanks for the input, Clay. BTY, I currently have 3 fish in the tank (and maintain excellent water quality). They are1 Percula clown, 1 purple dottyback, and 1 Springer Dottyback. with that already full population, I wouldn't plan to add much at all. Perhaps just a little coral and a couple of 'inverts'. I still need to do a lot of research on coral and such before knowing what i would like in my tank, what i can have in my tank.
also, you mentioned something about feeding frozen foods. What impact does that have versus live or freze-dried food?
Thanks,
Josh

The tank itself is actually 12X20, but the stand is flush with the tank. Hey Scott, where did you get your BakPak and how much was it? Also, I wanted to see what you guys thought of my filter...It's a Peguin Bio-Wheel Mini which filters 100gph. Good enough?
As far as what will be going into the tank, I would only want a couple of small attractive corals. But the main reason I always wanted a skimmer was because I have seen some very attractive snails and inverts that i would like to have in the tank.
