A decent amount of fish and a decent amunt of corals. Needs a skimmer or a ATS or a chunk of change on a ton of water changes or a big fuge full of macro.I have a fluval 305 filtration system and was wondering do I need to add a protein skimmer to my tank setup? I plan on having a decent amount of coral and fish. Tank size is 55 gallon.
You have one fish Pete. The OP clearly states decent amount. One of those water cleaners will or should be incorporated in the tank.
But thats not my call. If your going 4 months without doing anything to your tank Pete, then your not feeding anyone or anything in there.
