reckless sps tank?

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.

I'm adding 2 media reactors full of hydroton to my 2 sumps in the next week or so. The new dual RR cube tanks have less than 1 lb of LR per gallon, so the hydroton will help with the biological filtration.

I will be selling off most of my spare LR in my sump so then I will replace them with a hydroton reactor as well. This will free up a lot of space, even though I have a 90g wide sump, all that extra LR fills it up good.

I'm confused as to what this tank would look like? When you say rockless, do you mean no rocks of any kind, or just an artificial structure made out of something like concrete or plastic in an exact shape that you want? Without something to put the corals on, wouldn't this just be a glass box with a bunch of corals sitting on the bottom?
