I personally am really close to starting my first tank in a long while, and will definitely be doing it sumpless and skimmerless and SLOW!!

It can be done for sure.

Acans are placed on the sand and they are fine touching each other.

Here are a few more shots of this set up. This is not exactly how the tank looks right now (Acan garden, Rics and Duncan are gone). I'll take a recent shot in the next few days.

what happened to that acan garden?
you said its gone?

k sorry to sound so green.. but how can you run no sump and no skimmer, no dosing and a fair amount of bioload on ur system? Do you use any filtration? and it doesnt look like you have much rock or sand either

What is your lighting schedule for this tank?

I would be curious what the levels of Alk, Cal and Mag are in your tap water

I am as curious as zero is on this matter, because I would love to run a system without a skimmer, sump, or anything. Please tell us your ways. hahaa
I would like to know what you use for circulation, gph, and if/what is used for filtering the water? please and thank you.
