I have never done this but my neighbour has a 125 that he runs filterless and has nothing but crash after crash. Don't know what in the world he is doing wrong. He has wiped out some major $$$$$ in corals and fish each time but will not put a filter on it......
 See what others think.

Just run a sump, with some slower flow. and Powerheads in tank. That will keep your noise down. I only run filters on my FW tanks. SW just has Phosban reactor, skimmer and the LR

IMO nothing over a 20gal can run a filterless system. I put in alot of time cleaning and doing changes on mine. a 55gal is to big and is impossible with to many fish. O have 2 myself and I think that is to many and plan on putting a good HOB skimmer on the tank to help me out a bit

My tank 50 gallon reef tank has been skimerless for 2 years and all my fish, corals and invertebrates have been thriving so far. I must say that my tank has no SPS and perhaps that's why I can get away with running a skimerless tank. So far my corals have been growing pretty well. In fact I sell frags often so to say that a reef tank cannot be skimerless is not entirely true.
Here is a link to another beautiful skimerless tank...check it out! http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...hreadid=893433 Last edited by Carrera75; 07-17-2008 at 05:45 AM.
