Coral Tank

[BigReefer]

I was wondering if it was possible to have a coral only tank ... just inverts and coral .... no fish is this possible or do you have to have fish for the POO ...

My thought would be more frequent feedings of the coral would be the only down side.

I like to feed with oster feast

I looked into this a few months back and found lots of examples of it being done but mostly with corals that don't have long sweepers. This type of setup sounds ideal for a carpet nem or other Aggressive feeding corals minus the sweepers.
From what I found lots of reef roids or snow feedings is sufficient.

when you say lots of feedings??? do you mean everyday?

I wouldn't feed every day personally , you would run into algee problems feed once a week I'd say or even use your Display tanks water for a water change forbyour coral tank a hob filter or a skimmer and that's good too .

feed once a week

I've read two or three feedings a week depending on filtration. This not a personal experience opinion just research based as I'm sure u can do this many ways like everything in this hobby.

I feed my nano, 44g and 9G frag tank a sloppy mixture of reef roids, AcroPower, and Kent's coralvite everyday, with very little algae growth if any, you need a good skimmer though!!!!
