I found that after using vinegar for some time, I had what appeared to be a bacterial bloom over some of the rocks.
I went away after I ceased with the vinegar.

If you visit a reef at night you would be stunned at the amount of food that corals (that are capable) capture.

I think the more 'mature' a tank gets, the least critical water changes become.
That being said, I personally think at least a 10% change occasionally on a 'mature' tank can't hurt.

I just find it hard to take anything labelled 'miracle' serious.

Though a system can run without a skimmer, unless there is a specific reason not to, I think it is a useful tool to utilize.

Didn't see JonK's reply before I posted, but that is just my concern.
I wouldn't want to put anything in my sump or tank that would decimate the pod population.
