reckless sps tank?

[ColinD]

Roberto Denadai over on RC ran a tank using fake rock and siporax in his sump. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...iporax&page=18
so no live rock at all and his corals looked spectacular.

Thanks for the link. Nice tank he has

I would fill sump with rubble as I have a pail full in garage

Is your frag tank stand as lone or hooked up to your display

both my frag tanks have their own sumps and are stand alones

You can pull it off easy enough, but I would feel bad for the poor fish. They like a little rock work to hide in at night.

I'm sure that there would lots of cover with grown in Acros
I would like to try this but it won't be for some time

ive done rockless barebottom frag tanks without a problem, the trick is to run hydroton (hydroponic growing medium) in a media reactor as a "live rock replacement"

Yes I've been using hydroton for a couple years now

My tank is a bit reckless (untamed). I've been considering removing the rock to make more space for some coral colonies that are getting larger than the rocks they are on. Sump is full of rock, so I don't think I need the rock for filtration.
