so....I don't need a skimmer?

I was going to let it go because I am trying to not be too "judgemental." Also, I am hoping it is a joke.

According to Scott W. Michael (Pocked guide to marine fish):

Emporer angel- not reef safe, min tank size 135 G, max length 15"

Panther Grouper- not reef safe, min tank size 180 G, max length 27"

What do you do when your fish gets so big that it can't turn around in the tank?

Well I knew that, thats why i brought up those fish! to help point out that i've been doing research and reading books. I already knew that i could never put those fish in a tank my size. I do my research thats why i'm starting slow i just used those as an example of what a newbie would probably buy and kill without doing research and gaining knowledge of this hobby.
Thanks Matt

no no no, i said i could get only one grouper and put it in the tank... but right after that i also said <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote

but i think i know enough not to get a grouper, or an Emperator Angelfish

that is what i said, sorry if you read it wrong, but i would never fit a fish like those in my tank even if i found a small baby. I maybe could find a home for it when it got bigger but i no, i wouldn't go that route either.
Thanks Matt
