Zach0225 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Is it possible to run a successful long term tank with no fish and just sps with inverts? I’d assume it is if you dosed and fed to account for the lack of fish poo its possible but is it sustainable? Anyone who is doing this please let me know how.

I guess it’s more of a curiosity, I can always get clowns or some other form but there aren’t many fish that catch my eye that are suitable for a nano. I love hawkish, coral beauty and mandarins but i feel nanos are too small for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LavenderTi Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 My 22 gallon coral quarantine tank is fishless. I dose ammonia daily and phosphate weekly. I will feed pellets from time to time. There’s a ton of amphipods and bristleworms in it since there aren’t any predators. I previously ran the same tank as my main display with 2 clowns and a hawk. The corals seem to not notice a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbymac92 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I did it when I ran fallow for a few months. Still did ghost feedings. I really enjoyed it but missed the fish Edited March 4 by Colbymac92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandVib3s Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I have been thinking the same. Maybe as a grow out tank..I think it would be alot more stable and the ammonia dosing would be safer without fish but may kill off some inverts. 🤔🤔🤔 should I? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach0225 Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 I would really love a invert/sps only tank. loads of shrimp, snails and sps. Maybe just maybe 1 mandarin goby if I can get the pod population to thrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
