corals only tanks
 

Is it easier to keep a coral only tank (if I get easy to med difficulty corals)? Do still I need a skimmer? OK, may be not all corals, but 1 clown too?

I'm sure you could do a skimmerless coral tank. That being said you would have to stay on top of water quality regadless. What kind of corals are you thinking of?

Just something I've noticed but most of the nicest SPS tanks I've seen have had fish and often lots.

Seconded! Not that a fish-free or limited fish system can't be done. :mrgreen:

Fish are a natural part of a coral's environment. Corals actually eat fish poo. So if there are no fish, you're cutting off a signficant part of the corals' diet.

Just looking for an easier way out :) Don't know which corals I want yet because I only know a few. Something not too complicated.
