Tank w/o LR will b like tanks with fishes for sale in LFS.. Look wise depend on individual..

indeed of disposing the LR, why not cure them..

btw, what is AEFW?..

beneficial bacteria will also be missing.. got to change water very frequently depend on ur bio-load..

con is you cant keep fishes that need a hiding place.. i.e some wrasse, gobies, blennies...

IMO i dont think it is a need to have LR to house your beneficial bacteria and neither does it become uncycled. i'm sure you have your sump with bioballs/ ceramic rings/ biological filter that houses the necessary bacteria.

Bro Kenyee, AEFW = Acropora Eating Flatworms.. &^#@%!^# pests among SPS

Hi braincoral, it is possible to keep SPS without LR at all.

You can refer to this thread, this reefer is keeping SPS without LR. Hope this will inspire you like I did.

You really have to take a look.
