This filterless sort of marine system is new to me. We used to run carbon, polypads, particulate filtration, etc, in a big mostly fish/few corals tank. Now it's a sump with nothing in it and mostly corals.
System: a 52gal reef with a tiny sump (corner tank) stony coral, mushrooms, one zooanthid, two small fish and a healthy crew of inverts and abundant hitchhikers on live rock, with RO/DI water, Urchin skimmer. Everything is on the high end: cal, mg, alk, but within normal range.
In short, what's modern thinking on corals, carbon and polypads? Good? Bad?
