Eco Reef One

Hey brothers/sisters,

Have you guys seen this before? http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/4/aquarium

Wondering if you have any idea if this works well, or if you have tried it before? Looks quite like a good idea, given that it's very low-consumption approach to things...

Bump! Has anyone tried this method to reef keeping? I find it very counter-intuitive, but that's good cos it does challenge our beliefs. Too often there's so much info (sometimes conflicting), we lose track of why we so certain things.

100% water changes, simple in-tank filter, bare bottom. Any thoughts?

That article makes mountain out of a molehill.

LPS, no fish, barely any nutrients, water change instead of dosing elements. You don't even need to cycle for bacteria.

It's like how all of us are running a QT or frag tanks. Hardly counter-intuitive.

Water changing like this costs a lot more than dosing.
