Never had a skimmer, nor did i have a sump.
Been 2 years now and this is what I've been using
I take about 1/4 to 1/3 gallon out every 2-3days and add pre-mixed salt water (which i mix and left overnight. Always balancing between 1.025 and 1.026. Every 2 weeks or so i toothbrush scrub the rocks (avoiding all creatures) and clean the HOB Canister's foam, carbon, and filter in a sink.... Resoak in salt water, and re-equip. Adding prime (1 drop) to everytime i mix saltwater (i believe this lowers phosphates and nitrates).
I've been using tap water (thats why i use prime) but just bought a rodi so i wont be adding prime anymore.
2 years now and this is what it looks like
Let me know if theres something i should be doing or if you have any questions
