So I've had a bug to start a nano over the last few weeks. My 75 gallon reef is progressing nicely and the urge to start something different is strong.
So I'm browsing Google images the other day and I came across this.
The write-up on the tank can be found here.

I find the simplicity of the design incredible to look at. On top of that it's all natural filtration. No skimmer or mechanical filtration of any kind. Just the live rock/sand with a small power head. The best part is that I already have everything. I have a 30 gallon quarantine tank which never gets used, but the glass is too scratched up for a decent display tank. I have a standard 10 gallon tank I used for mixing, and I can transfer some of the sand bed and all of the live rock from my quarantine tank to set up the nano.
I really like the ricordia used in the pictured tank, and I'm thinking of starting with 4-5 of those and adding a couple very colorful rock flower nems to the mix. Probably no fish to keep the water parameters in check and doing weekly water changes.
Anybody tried something like this with success?
