I have a chance to get a great deal on a small zebra moray and im pretty positive im gonna take it. The setup would be a 30L (hes less then 8" long and will be in there alone, I know im gonna need a bigger tank soon, just working with what Ive got) with a 10g sump and a mag 3 powering it. The tank with be FOWLR and like I said just him. Is it live and die important that I have a skimmer at setup or is it something that I can wait a few weeks on and just do water changes?
How important is a skimmer

Ok thats what I figured. Just to be clear Im going to add a skimmer in the next couple of weeks but just not this weekend. I have the distinct pleasure of having a salt water importer right down the street from me (like I could throw a rock and hit his garage lol) so hes going to hook me up with seeded media and rock so I can get this thing going super fast. STOKED!!!
good luck with the tank man. I am sure with me and Comatose, you wont have any problems that can't be solved with your moray. They are a great choice for a marine tank. Really cool animals.

Yea except for their terrible eyesight. Never feed them hotdogs, because they look exactly like fingers!
Just kidding.
It is very important to have it would be like having a dog but no food dish's or a leash every piece of equipment is essential in a successful marine tank environment.

Read some of the other posts in here and on the corals inverts section. I have written a lot on skimmers very recently. Moral of the story...I dont run a filter on my 75g aquarium, have no measurable wastes, feed my fish and corals heavily, and am growing acro's and milli's successfully.
