Right now I have a refugium with chaeto and an ats as nutrient export for my tank. I've seen tanks from people (Jake Adams from reef builders, for example) that don't really have any export apart from corals and live rock. No water changes, skimmer, chaeto, etc.

I'm debating just buying a lot of frags and filling the sump with them, and balancing feeding, with the goal to grow corals and get to a simpler tank in general.
Any of you have tried this? How to go about it?
