Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Any of you guys running a tank with no filtration system ?
I've thought of setting up a Walstad method planted tank... but never a reef. Planted reef maybe? Always wanted a display refugium with a bunch of pretty macros.

I have a problem with wanting too many aquariums. I need one of every kind. I have a betta tank, planted tank, nano rock nem tank, FOWLR, mixed reef... I've been holding myself back from setting up my 35 cube as a BTA and clownfish tank. A few months ago I was looking into setting up a discus tank...
 
Ya know what gripes me? All of the contests require social media of some sort now. The only way I can ever possibly get my dream tank!!! Rant over.
You can make a throwaway Twitter acc and complete a large portion of those things. That contest is a blatant personal information grab.

Well .. thats what I run, but add to that a DSB , filtration is completely done by macros and the sand base ... I call it the I dont care tank ... surprisingly everything grows amazingly in there ... I have a pavona some shrooms and softies ... Im thinking to put a piece of acro to see how it goes
 
I have one with and one without filtration , thats why im asking.
Id like to know someone else like me lol
I’ve seen a thread before with a couple people using a light, heater, and powerhead, but I think it was coral only, maybe some inverts.

One of the most amazing small reefs I've seen was a 40B with 2 power heads, a heater, and an ATO. Full blown SPS. There are pictures of it somewhere on R2R but I can't find them anymore.

I'm tempted to set up something similar with a 55g.

So what's one more? :D
Umm... Sleep? :p
I already have everything I would need including the tank, 2 MP40's, heaters, an Apex Jr and lights. Don't think it would cost me a thing other than to build a stand. Heck, I even have plenty of spare rock.
But.. sleep matters!
