Do people keep fishless reefs ?? I think I'm about to start

[Jonathan blackwood]

So with this new tank I've started I can't seem to keep fish without sickness... and I'm tired just constantly battling Ich/velvet... and I don't want any more fish to loose either :( so if these fish I have now don't overcome this illness this time, I'm going fishless!!!!! I have been in hobby for 10+ years and do great with coral !!:):) but when it comes to fish .... no such luck . So my question is , how many other people do mixed reefs without fish ???

It's actually not at all uncommon. Especially in nano tanks.

Setting up a new cube I was going to go fishless, but I caved in and added some just for fertilizer.

I do for the simple fact I don't need to work about frag being tipped over and feeding fish and all

I have kept fishless tanks for a long time. Makes caring for them easy.
