I would say the RODI unit to insure you were putting quality water in to start with to stop alot of problems befor they start.I ran my 180 for 6 months with no skimmer and was happy with the quality and have seen some beutiful tanks that run skimmerless.But I also think that a protien skimmer should be standard equipment because it does make a difference and helps decrease water changes and keeps the water a lot clearer.Also you can get rodi water at a LFS wher you can't get a skimmer 50 cent at a time.Whats the tds in the water where you are at?My folks just got a place in Sunbright that I hope to be stayin at soon and the water straight out the well only had a TDS reading of 125.Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect but it's alot better than my city here at like 650!
