U can add subsequently if necessarily (hang on type at side of tank). [I have a 5 footer with 22 big to medium size fishes and I stopped using skimmer since I added ozone/orp controller].
4. Other equipments recommended: at least 2 wavemakers (if not more) for 4 footer tank. Other basic stuff not mentioned as I'm sure u are able to figure out e.g. salt, hydrometer (to check correct salinity)..... happy reefing
ps: preferable if your tank glass thickness is at least 12mm.

Bro, I would like to know
1)when you stopped using the skimmer?
2)How often you do your WC?
3)How many percent of WC?
4)How many times you feed your fishes a day?
5)What is your NO3?
I am just curious how an Ozoniser and ORP can help to maintain a marine tank and might consider to do the same too. Thanks
