Can you have a decent reef without all the bells and whistles? Of course!
Here's a couple pics of my 2 yr old 55gal mixed reef. There are 10 fish as well.
No sump, no dosing, no filtration at all. Only thing that has been treating the water is a protein skimmer.
Full tank shot:
SPS and blue mushrooms; started out with 5 mushrooms, have 17 now.

Ricordia, candy cane, and flower polyps
Started with 2 RTBA's, now have 12. I have stopped feeding them lol. They do some damage occasionally...notice the Purple Stylo in top right, one wandered up near the edge of the coral, they had a war and the stylo lost some polyps and the offending anemone also moved back down once stung by the stylo. The polyps on the stylo are coming back thankfully.
Yes, my corals are close to the glass :
Random pic:
Full tank shot this afternoon:
Only water changes every 2 months, approx 60% water change each time. Lighting is Kessil only.
Cheers, Tim
