I'm interested as well... I have been researching low tech/low maintenance/pretty much self contained reef systems.

Wow I'm really interested!!! Please
I came across to this link below which I thought may help and give some info on how some people do it. His tank has no skimmer just like the OP does. A macro algae is a good idea to export the nitrate.
Simple, low tech reef tanks can be bliss
That tank IMO is completely different than the ops lol. Yes it has no skimmer but it has two fish and he said he really never feeds it. That is minimal bioload along with tons of macroalgae and softies. That is completely different than a 28 gallon with a 5 fish, 0 macro and a large cuc including sand sifters.
No skimmer is what I am referring to be the same as the OP not the similarity of the tank. My wrong choice of words but the main thing is that it is a low maintenance tank.That tank IMO is completely different than the ops lol.

I would have to agree with the OP.... from a few of my previous posts I have stated that I do monthly WC.... the truth is within the last year iv'e changed my water 3 time and the last one was about 6 months ago. Currently have full FOWLR tank with quite a few tangs.... semi-decent CUC and a 4" sand bed. parameters are very stable, nitrates are always around 0-5 (from what I can see)and phosphates sit around 0-0.2.
4' or 6' better?keep them all in the ocean. His tank is healthy and so are his fish. Good job I have a friend who has a 75 and does one wc every 6 months. I do one every two weeks on three tanks I enjoy it.Yep just change the subject then . In the wild tangs cover miles of ocean a day, and here you are keeping one in a 2 1/2ft tank.
